Determinantes das emissões de CO2 nos países da América do Sul e da Europa: o crescimento econômico utilizando energias renováveis e não renováveis
Abstract
O objetivo desta pesquisa é avaliar os impactos da P&D, PIB, desigualdade de renda e energias renováveis nas emissões de CO2 em países da América do Sul e da Europa. Inclui dados anuais de 1990 a 2014 obtidos da base de dados online do Banco Mundial. A amostra final incluiu dezenove países da América do Sul e da Europa. Concluímos que existe uma relação positiva e significativa entre o PIB per capita e as emissões de CO2, e uma relação negativa e significativa entre o aumento percentual do consumo de energias renováveis (em relação ao consumo total) e as emissões de CO2, confirmando as hipóteses 1 e 3 do estudo. Como resultado, (i) a utilização de energias renováveis é fundamental para a redução das emissões de CO2, e (ii) a redução da desigualdade (GINI) resulta no aumento das emissões de CO2.
