Abstract

This study examines the effects of economic growth, energy consumption, Biological Capacity and Trade openness on the Ecological Footprint (EF) of consumption as index of environmental degradation using a panel data during the period 1990– 2013. A number of panel unit root tests confirm that the data are first-difference stationary. Results from Pedroni and Kao panel co-integration tests show that the variables are co-integrated. Therefore, the panel Fully Modified Ordinary Least Square (FMOLS) method is then employed to estimate the long run relationship between the variables. The results indicate a positive and significant relationship between Ecological Footprint (EF) and Biological Capacity, and a negative and insignificant impact of Trade openness on EF. Energy consumption is also led to increase EF. The results showed the N-shape relationship between EF and economic growth. Therefore, economic growth will lead to further environmental degradation in this region.
