The critical role of green innovation technologies and democracy in the transition to sustainability: A study on leading emerging market economies
Recent studies emphasize the potential of green technologies and political factors as catalysts for sustainability. Despite extensive examination of various factors' impacts on ecological footprints in previous literature, there is limited empirical evidence regarding the environmental effects of these two factors. Addressing this gap in the literature, this study underscores the importance of green innovation technologies and democracy in the transition to sustainability. The study aims to investigate the impact of green innovation technologies, democracy, income inequality, globalization, economic growth, and energy consumption on the ecological footprint in seven leading emerging market nations from 1990 to 2018. The study utilized second-generation panel data methodology to identify the relationship between variables using the Augmented Mean Group procedure. The study's findings indicate that green innovation technologies and democracy reduce the ecological footprint of the entire panel. While globalization is a force that reduces ecological pressure, income distribution has no significant impact. Factors that significantly increase the ecological footprint include economic growth and energy consumption. Although the results at the country level are somewhat heterogeneous, they provide supportive and promising insights for the panel.
期刊介绍:
Technology in Society is a global journal dedicated to fostering discourse at the crossroads of technological change and the social, economic, business, and philosophical transformation of our world. The journal aims to provide scholarly contributions that empower decision-makers to thoughtfully and intentionally navigate the decisions shaping this dynamic landscape. A common thread across these fields is the role of technology in society, influencing economic, political, and cultural dynamics. Scholarly work in Technology in Society delves into the social forces shaping technological decisions and the societal choices regarding technology use. This encompasses scholarly and theoretical approaches (history and philosophy of science and technology, technology forecasting, economic growth, and policy, ethics), applied approaches (business innovation, technology management, legal and engineering), and developmental perspectives (technology transfer, technology assessment, and economic development). Detailed information about the journal's aims and scope on specific topics can be found in Technology in Society Briefings, accessible via our Special Issues and Article Collections.
