Linking economic growth and ecological footprint through human capital and biocapacity
Abstract
Abstract As an indicator of environmental degradation, the ecological footprint has seen immense attention in the literature. However, because of the complex feedback in the relationships among economic development, biodiversity, ecosystem services, and human wellbeing, the footprint remains poorly understood and largely neglected in political decision-making. This study examines the relationship between economic growth and the ecological footprint as it relates to biocapacity and human capital. The autoregressive distributive lag (ARDL) econometric approach with a structural break is applied to data from 1971 from 2014 to reveal that economic growth increases ecological footprint that contributes to environmental degradation. In addition, biocapacity also increases the ecological footprint and contributes to environmental degradation. A causality analysis suggests there is no causality regarding the relationship between economic growth and the ecological footprint.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
