This study aims to investigate the impact of economic growth, renewable energy consumption, nonrenewable energy consumption, industrialization, and environmental policy stringency on the ecological footprint in the BRICS countries over the period of 1995-2016. Series of the advanced econometric method, such as the novel dynamic seemingly unrelated regression (DSUR) method and the Dumitrescu and Hurlin panel causality tests, are employed for scrutinizing the estimations of the long-run and causal relationships among variables. The results suggested that the economic growth, renewable energy consumption, nonrenewable energy consumption, and industry have a positive relationship to the ecological footprint, while environmental policy stringency has been described in the BRICS countries as having a negative relationship with the ecological footprint. In addition, the bidirectional relationship is found between (i) the ecological footprint and economic growth and (ii) the ecological footprint and renewable energy consumption.
本研究旨在探讨 1995-2016 年期间，经济增长、可再生能源消费、不可再生能源消费、工业化和环境政策力度对金砖国家生态足迹的影响。采用了一系列先进的计量经济学方法，如新颖的动态似乎不相关回归（DSUR）方法和 Dumitrescu 和 Hurlin 面板因果关系检验，以仔细研究变量之间的长期和因果关系的估计。结果表明，经济增长、可再生能源消费、不可再生能源消费和工业与生态足迹呈正相关，而环境政策力度在金砖国家被描述为与生态足迹呈负相关。此外，还发现（i）生态足迹与经济增长和（ii）生态足迹与可再生能源消费之间存在双向关系。
