Abstract

This paper examines the influence of services activity in the environmental Kuznets curve (EKC) model regarding carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. The analysis is applied for Spain during the period 1940-2014. It compares the standard environmental Kuznets curve model and its modification by isolating the evolution of services effect. The results through the autoregressive distributed-lag (ARDL) estimation strategy confirm that even though all economic activities tend to be more and more sustainable, it is the evolution of services sector that becomes fundamental in the reduction of per capita CO2 emissions.

服务在环境库兹涅茨曲线中的作用

本文在环境库兹涅茨曲线（EKC）模型中考察了服务活动对二氧化碳（CO2）排放的影响。该分析适用于1940-2014年期间的西班牙。比较了标准环境库兹涅茨曲线模型及其通过隔离服务效应的演化进行的修正。自回归分布滞后（ARDL）估计策略的结果证实，尽管所有经济活动都趋向于越来越可持续，但服务业的发展才是减少人均二氧化碳排放的基础。
