Causalidad, cointegración, curva ambiental de Kuznets, contaminación, energías renovables.Resumen
Objetivo: Este artículo analiza la curva ambiental de Kuznets (EKC) para los países del Tratado de Libre Comercio de América del Norte (TLCAN) durante 1971-2014. Metodología: En el trabajo se aplican pruebas de raíz unitaria, cointegración y causalidad haciendo uso de la metodología de datos panel. Resultados: Los resultados de este trabajo sugieren que las series son integradas de orden uno y que relación a largo plazo entre las variables. Además, se confirma la hipótesis ekc. El análisis señala que la energía renovable y la apertura comercial contribuyen a la reducción de la contaminación en estos países. Limitaciones: Los resultados sugieren la necesidad de llevar a cabo más investigaciones que incluyan otras variables como desarrollo financiero o capital humano. Originalidad: El presente artículo contribuye a entender la relación que existe entre la apertura comercial y el consumo de energía renovable, por un lado, y la contaminación, por el otro. Conclusiones: Las políticas relacionadas con la apertura comercial y ambientales podrían considerar que las energías renovables y el comercio ayudan a reducir las emisiones contaminantes en estos países.
