محددات البصمة البيئية لبعض دول شمال أفريقيا : دراسة قياسية

Abstract EN

This study aims to analyze the relationship and estimate the impact of some determinants on the ecological footprint in specific North African countries (Egypt, Algeria, Tunisia and Morocco) during the period (1973-2017).

To achieve this, the study relied on the econometric approach using dynamic models for panel data.

The empirical results showed the negative impact of the variables: economic growth represented by the average per capita output, final energy consumption, natural resource rents, and trade openness on the environmental quality by increasing the average per capita share of the consuming ecological footprint.

While the high rate of population growth leads to a reduction in the average per capita ecological footprint consumed.
