Efecto de la desigualdad de ingresos y la industria manufacturera en la contaminación ambiental de Ecuador, durante el periodo 1980 – 2017, mediante técnicas de cointegración”

This research examines the effect that income inequality and the manufacturing industry have on environmental pollution in Ecuador during 1970-2017, using cointegration techniques, with the aim of determining the evolution and the short and long-term effect of these variables. , using time series data and through an ordinary least squares econometric study, it was determined that all variables have evolved gradually and upward over time, verifying that there is a negative but significant relationship between income inequality and environmental pollution and also a negative but significant relationship between the manufacturing industry and environmental pollution. In addition, the existence of a relationship between the variables in the short and long term was determined by means of Johansen cointegration tests, using a VAR model and a VEC model, demonstrating that the force of vectors is strong and significant, in addition, there is a unidirectional causality relationship between income inequality and environmental pollution, and between the manufacturing industry and environmental pollution, before this it is suggested to apply policies such as reducing income inequality by strengthening national policies through access and decentralization of the means of production and through tax policies; later, by strengthening formal employment and reducing precariousness in the labor sector, and finally by implementing tax policies and environmental regulations that lead to a decrease in the use of materials and in the consumption of energy by industries .
