Sažetak
This study explores the relationship between energy usage, per
capita income, and ecological footprint as an assessment for ecological deterioration in the MINT (Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria,
Turkey) countries for the 1976–2016 period. This work estimates
the long-term correlation between variables using a vector error
correction model through panel vector autoregression analysis. By
incorporating endogenous interactions between the variables in
the system, the VAR approach addresses the endogeneity problem. Also, the impulse response functions and the effects of variables on certain lags are evaluated. Then, the cointegration
between variables has been estimated with dynamic and fully
modified ordinary least squares panel analysis to assess the longterm relationship further. After the examinations, a satisfactory
Granger causality result of the short-term variables could not be
achieved. However, the same cannot be said for long-run causality. In the impulse-response functions, the interactions of the variables on each other are evaluated. Only the increase in energy
consumption, whose coefficient is statistically significant and
coherent, increases the flexibility of the ecological footprint.
