Abstract:
|
This paper performs an empirical Decomposition of International
Inequality in Ecological Footprint in order to quantify to what extent explanatory
variables such as a country’s affluence, economic structure, demographic
characteristics, climate and technology contributed to international differences in terms
of natural resource consumption during the period 1993-2007. We use a Regression-
Based Inequality Decomposition approach. As a result, the methodology extends
qualitatively the results obtained in standard environmental impact regressions as it
comprehends further social dimensions of the Sustainable Development concept, i.e.
equity within generations. The results obtained point to prioritizing policies that take
into account both future and present generations.
Keywords: Ecological Footprint Inequality, Regression-Based Inequality
Decomposition, Intragenerational equity, Sustainable development. |
