Export diversification can reduce India's ecological footprint, supporting environmental sustainability. Increased export product diversification helps control environmental degradation and aligns with economic growth, as per the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis.
Area of Science:
- Environmental Economics
- Sustainable Development
- Ecological Footprint Analysis
Background:
- Existing literature on export diversification and environmental quality primarily focuses on carbon dioxide emissions, yielding mixed results.
- Carbon dioxide emissions alone do not comprehensively measure environmental deterioration.
- Previous studies often misinterpret the Theil index for export diversification, where lower values signify higher diversification.
Purpose of the Study:
- To analyze the contribution of export diversification to India's ecological footprint.
- To address the limitations in previous research regarding environmental quality indicators and export diversification measurement.
- To examine the relationship within the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis framework for India.
Main Methods:
- Utilized the STIRPAT model to analyze data from 1965 to 2017 for India.
- Employed the Augmented ARDL test to establish cointegration among variables.
- Applied the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis framework.
Main Results:
- Export diversification was found to reduce India's ecological footprint in the long run.
- An inverted-U-shaped relationship was observed between the ecological footprint and economic growth.
- Energy intensity increases environmental degradation, while population density decreases it.
Conclusions:
- India can mitigate environmental degradation by enhancing export product diversification.
- The study provides evidence supporting the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis for India.
- Strategies for achieving environmental sustainability through export diversification are discussed.
