Crecimiento endógeno y sostenibilidad: Un análisis de complejidad económica y transición energética

Abstract

Abstract: This research focuses on innovative issues such as economic complexity and energy transition and, with it, the appearance of recent works that seek to explain the relationship between these variables and human capital, given the lack of empirical evidence in this field. In this way, the study examines this relationship for 120 economies during the period from 2012 to 2019. The countries considered are divided into four groups according to their income level, namely, low-income, lower middle-income, upper middle-income, and high-income (based on the World Bank Atlas method). The study uses the econometric methodology of Feasible Generalized Least Squares and Panel-Corrected Standard Errors, which shows that human capital has direct and significant effects when explaining the economic complexity and energy transition of economies, in addition to testing the interactions of economic complexity in the energy ladder of the different groups of countries.
