Does economic complexity matter for environmental sustainability? Using ecological footprint as an indicator

Muhammad Zahid Rafique et al.

Summary: This study utilized panel data estimators to explore the association between factors such as economic complexity, human capital, renewable energy generation, urbanization, economic growth, export quality, trade and ecological footprint. The long-run estimates revealed that economic complexity, economic growth, export quality, trade and urbanization increase ecological footprint, while human capital and renewable energy generation help to mitigate ecological footprint. The conclusion suggests that investing in more renewable energy generation and efficient use of human capital can improve economic complexity, export quality, and the environment in both developed and developing countries.

Economic complexity and the green economy

Penny Mealy et al.

Summary: This paper develops a new methodology to measure the productive capabilities of countries in the green economy and ranks them accordingly. The results indicate that countries with higher rankings tend to perform better in terms of environmental patenting rates, CO2 emissions, and environmental policies, even after controlling for per capita GDP. Additionally, the paper explores the potential of countries to transition into green products in the future and finds strong path dependence in the accumulation of green capabilities. These findings shed new light on green industrialization and have implications for green industrial policy.
