Threshold effects of international tourist arrivals on ecological footprint
This paper examines whether the environmental impact of international tourism depends on the growth regime in which it operates, covering the 10 most visited countries over 2004–2020. Environmental pressure is measured through the ecological footprint, rather than CO2 emissions as is common in the literature, since it captures a broader range of human demands on natural systems. A fixed-effects panel threshold model is estimated to allow for regi…
International Climate Finance, Spatial Spillovers, and Carbon Intensity
Climate finance may influence carbon emissions beyond the countries that receive it. In this regard, this study analyzes the spatial effects of climate finance on CO 2 emissions per unit of GDP, considering both short‐ and long‐run dynamics. Using a balanced panel of 128 countries over 2010–2019 and a dynamic spatial Durbin model, we find a negative and statistically significant association between climate finance and carbon intensity. The result…

The role of governance in large-scale mining sector in Latin America
Beyond the Haven Hypothesis
Foreign direct investment (FDI) plays a pivotal role in driving economic growth, yet its environmental consequences demand scrutiny as nations strive for sustainable development. This study investigates how environmental policies mediate the relationship between inward and outward FDI and natural resource availability, focusing on biocapacity in 41 high‐income countries over a 22‐year period. Using a mediation effects methodology, supported by So…
Women in Power, Energy in Transition
The transition to sustainable energy is a pressing global challenge, yet the influence of gender on energy policy remains insufficiently examined. Most existing studies on women's political empowerment (WPE) and environmental outcomes rely on single indicators of energy transition, overlooking its multidimensional nature. This paper addresses that limitation by developing a comprehensive Energy Transition Index (ETI) and analyzing the effect of W…
Revisiting Sustainability Under Ecological Limits
This paper develops a dynamic macroeconomic model to examine the long‐term viability of economic growth under ecological constraints. The model integrates produced and natural capital in a CES production function, incorporates a logistic regeneration process, and introduces a nonlinear sustainability condition that penalizes ecological depletion near critical thresholds. We simulate four scenarios: a baseline, reduced extraction, enhanced regener…
Whose Security? Rethinking Climate Risks Through Postcolonial and Ecological Lenses
Climate change poses complex and unequal challenges that reshape conventional ideas of security. This article critiques state‐centred and militarized framings and advances an integrative perspective that combines postcolonial and ecological security. The approach specifies mechanisms (power‐conditioned exposure and voice, securitizing externalities and ecological threshold dynamics) and propositions that guide evaluation and design. Drawing on th…
Energy resource productivity and environmental quality
In this research, we explore how renewable and fossil energy resource productivity impacted environmental quality in Latin American countries from 1990 to 2022, using quantiles for analysis. Our study reveals that renewable energy productivity (RENprod) has a stronger effect in countries with a smaller ecological footprint, diminishing in impact as the footprint grows. Conversely, fossil energy productivity (FENprod) shows an opposite trend. Over…

The impacts of trade, innovations, urbanization, financial development and CO2 emission on renewable and non-renewable energy use in India
India has experienced notable advancements in trade liberalization, innovation tactics, urbanization, financial expansion, and sophisticated economic development. Researchers are focusing more on how much energy consumption of both renewable and non-renewable accounts for overall system energy consumption in light of these dynamics. In order to gain an understanding of this important and contentious issue, we aim to examine the impact of trade op…
Medición de impactos socioeconómicos en estudios ambientales
The assessment (ex – ante) of the physical and biological impacts in an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) has a methodology reviewed and supported by the majority of the scientific community, such as Environmental Quality Standards (ECA) or Maximum Permissible Limits (MPL). However, what are the parameters to assessment socioeconomic impacts in an EIA? And what indicator to use to measure these impacts? These questions are intended to be answ…
Citizens' cultural values and urban green spaces in Colombia
Urban green spaces (UGS), such as urban forests, green corridors, and parks, are vital for societal well-being and environmental health. Despite extensive research on the economic value of parks, our understanding of how cultural values affect the appreciation of urban green spaces within parks remains limited. To address this, we conducted a Discrete Choice Experiment (DCE) focusing on revitalizing a key urban park in Colombia and developed four…
Trust, corruption, and willingness to pay for improved environmental goods
Objective The objective of this study was to determine whether the type of provider institution affects the Willingness to Pay (WTP) of a population for an urban regeneration project. Methods This research conducts a discrete choice experiment under a split‐sample approach, conducting two types of surveys, with the only variation being the administering institution for the funds. Results The main findings indicate a significant difference in WTP …

The spatial effect of estuaries pollution on the housing rental market
Estuaries are water bodies, many of which contribute to the sustainable development of cities. Many of them are considered natural landscapes, offering various recreational services to the population. However, estuary degradation is a common problem in developing countries. Ecuador, for example, has a significant problem with the pollution of its estuaries. Machala is one of the most affected cities due to the contamination of these water bodies.…

Households from developing countries do not sort their solid waste
By practicing solid waste source separation, some materials can be reused or recycled, thus achieving environmental, economic, and social benefits. Solid waste source separation reduces the emission of gases that cause global warming and climate change. Despite its benefits, previous studies have shown that it is a rare practice in households in developing countries. In this study, the behavior of households in Ecuador is analyzed regarding the s…
