Resumen

La interrelación dinámica entre el crecimiento económico, el porcentaje de combustibles fósiles en la matriz energética, el uso de energía y las emisiones de CO2 fue examinada. Se calculó una regresión vectorial autorregresiva en panel (PVAR) para 75 países y diferentes grupos de ingresos entre 1974 y 2013. Nuestros principales resultados revelan que el choque reduce el porcentaje de combustibles fósiles en la matriz energética, las emisiones de CO2 per cápita y el uso de energía per cápita, sin afectar estadísticamente el PIB per cápita. Además, la causalidad entre el crecimiento económico y el uso de energía es bidireccional en los países de ingresos altos y de ingresos medianos-altos. En contraste, la energía causa crecimiento económico en los países de ingresos medianos-bajos y de bajos ingresos. Finalmente, no encontramos evidencia que apoye la curva ambiental de Kuznets (EKC).
