This study investigates the effects of human capital, bio-capacity, energy use, and economic growth on the ecological footprint of G20 countries for the period 1970-2016, using the panel dynamic common correlated effects (DCCE) model. In the study, the G20 was considered in two groups, as developed and emerging economies. According to the DCCE estimation results, the long-term impact of human capital on the ecological footprint is negative and statistically strong in the developed economies while it is insignificant in the emerging economies. The impact of bio-capacity on the ecological footprint is positive in the short and long term in the emerging economies, and only in the short term in the developed economies. In addition, economic growth and energy use undermine the environmental quality in both groups of countries. The error correction coefficients are negative and statistically significant, which means that the deviations from the short-term equilibrium converge the long-term equilibrium level for both groups.
本研究利用面板动态共同相关效应（DCCE）模型，考察了 1970-2016 年间人力资本、生物容量、能源利用和经济增长对 G20 国家生态足迹的影响。研究中，将 G20 国家分为发达经济体和新兴经济体两组。根据 DCCE 估计结果，在发达经济体中，人力资本对生态足迹的长期影响为负，且在统计上显著，而在新兴经济体中则不显著。在新兴经济体中，生物容量对生态足迹的短期和长期影响均为正，而在发达经济体中仅在短期为正。此外，经济增长和能源利用均会损害两个国家组的环境质量。误差修正系数为负且在统计上显著，这意味着两组的短期均衡偏差都收敛于长期均衡水平。
