Abstract

Abstract: This study estimates the impact of social, economic, environmental and technological in the development and global development using the Index of Human Development as a social indicator, the Theil Index as an economic indicator, Renewable Energy Consumption as an indicator of sustainability and the total patents registered within the national territory as an indicator of Progress Technological. We worked with a generalized least squares model, the The results of the model reflected that, in the case of the Human Development Index, if There is a positive relationship in the short and long term, for the indicator of inequality, a positive relationship was observed for the short and long term. On the other hand, The sustainability indicator obtained the expected results, that is, for the short term a direct relationship and for the long term an inverse relationship, which indicates that in the long term a greater consumption of renewable energy will result in less Environmental degradation. Finally, for the proxy variable of technological progress, observed a negative relationship in the short term but positive in the long term.
