Relación entre la emisión de CO2 y crecimiento económico en Sudamérica 2010:2020

Abstract

Abstract: This research work determines the effectiveness of the environmental Kuznets Curve for South America, through the application of an econometric model, based on empirical evidence. Under this approach, the study area was described, where the most relevant contexts such as demographic, economic, social, environmental and accessibility to basic services were analyzed. This involved the study of the GDP per capita variables as the independent variable and CO2 as the dependent variable, complementing the study with the explanation of the CKA model presented by other explanatory variables such as the consumption of electrical energy and population. The results led to verify that H0 was indeed fulfilled, demonstrating that the doubled increase in productive activities influences the increase in CO2 emission in the long term, since it increased at the end of 2020, demonstrating that there is a relationship tradeoff between economic growth and environmental pollution.
