This paper seeks to explore the potential function of technological innovation and clean power in mitigating the ecological footprint in the N-11 nations during the phase 1992-2015 by applying panel cointegration analysis. The outcomes of the panel cointegration test signify the occurrence of a long-run relation among the clean energy (CE) variable, the ecological footprint (EF) variable, the per capita GDP (Y) variable, the financial development (FIN) variable, and technological innovation (TI) variable. The outcomes of the VECM signify a long-run causal relation from the ecological footprint (EF) variable to the clean energy (CE) variable, the GDP per capita (Y) variable, and technological innovation (TI) variable. This implies that the environmental degradation faced by the N-11 countries leads to shifting toward clean energy sources and technological innovation in the long run. Thus, the N-11 countries are in need to design policies that enhance shifting toward environmentally friendly energy sources.
本文旨在通过面板协整分析,探讨技术创新和清洁能源在缓解 1992-2015 年 N-11 国家生态足迹方面的潜在作用。面板协整检验的结果表明,清洁能源(CE)变量、生态足迹(EF)变量、人均 GDP(Y)变量、金融发展(FIN)变量和技术创新(TI)变量之间存在长期关系。VECM 的结果表明,从生态足迹(EF)变量到清洁能源(CE)变量、人均 GDP(Y)变量和技术创新(TI)变量存在长期因果关系。这意味着 N-11 国家面临的环境退化将导致它们在长期内转向清洁能源和技术创新。因此,N-11 国家需要制定政策,促进向环保能源的转变。
