Abstract

La posibilidad de que los indicadores de deterioro medioambiental puedan seguir una evolución compatible con la hipótesis de la curva de Kuznets ambiental (CKA) ha llevado a preguntarse bajo qué condiciones sucedería esto. En este trabajo se estudian las causas de primer nivel (efecto escala, efecto composición y efecto tecnológico) que pueden explicar la disociación entre la evolución de las emisiones (de CO2 y de azufre) y el PIB en los países en los que aquella se ha producido. El objeto de este análisis es investigar qué tipo de actuaciones han resultado más eficaces en la ruptura de la relación creciente entre emisiones y PIB. Para alcanzar el objetivo, analizaremos los resultados obtenidos de la descomposición con datos agregados de la tasa de crecimiento de los contaminantes seleccionados (CO2 y azufre), buscando similitudes y diferencias no solo entre países sino también entre contaminantes. Indicators of environmental degradation can have an compatible evolution with the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis (EKC). In this work we study the dissociation between the emissions evolution (Carbon and sulfur) and the GDP in some countries and we analyse the first-order explanations (the scale effect, the structure effect and the technological effect). The object of this paper is, therefore, identify the most effective actions adopted in order to break the relationship between the Carbon and sulfur emissions and the GDP. Descomposition analysis has been used to explore, with aggregated data, both differences and similarities between the selected pollution indicators growth (carbon and sulfur emissions) and the countries.
