The relations among ecological footprints, biocapacity per capita, gross domestic product per capita, natural resources, urbanization, human capital, and hydroelectric consumption are analyzed from 1971Q1 to 2017Q4 for Brazil and China. The novel quantile autoregressive distributive lag method was employed to analyze the long-run and short-run dynamics of environmental degradation. The findings revealed that economic growth has a positive role in the environmental degradation of both countries. However, human capital, natural resources, and hydropower have heterogeneous effects across quantile distribution and between the two countries. Based on the quantile dynamics of environmental degradation, the present study mentions policy implications for sustainable development.
本文分析了 1971 年第一季度至 2017 年第四季度巴西和中国的生态足迹、人均生物承载力、人均国内生产总值、自然资源、城市化、人力资本和水电消费之间的关系。采用新的分位数自回归分布滞后方法分析了环境退化的长期和短期动态。研究结果表明,经济增长对两国的环境退化都有积极作用。然而,人力资本、自然资源和水电在分位数分布和两国之间具有异质效应。基于环境退化的分位数动态,本研究提出了可持续发展的政策建议。
