“…Likewise, Dasgupta et al (2002) show that the expected inverted "U" is not observable due to institutional failures. Some other authors that have found similar results are: Ansari et al (2020), Soytas et al (2007), Roca andPadilla (2003), andSeppälä et al (2001). On the other hand, He and Richard (2010) find little evidence in favor of the EKC hypothesis.…”

This paper aims to examine the relationship between economic growth and environmental degradation in a sample of 28 countries. A panel data model is used dividing the sample into four groups classified by income level where fixed and random individual effects are estimated without the time component using an error-components model (ECM). Annual data from the World Bank for carbon dioxide emissions per capita and gross domestic product per capita are used for the period 1970-2016. The empirical results and their graphical analysis, using a panel data approach with an ECM, suggest an absence of an Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) in the whole sample. These results considering panel data with an ECM, 28 countries and 46 years differ from many of the studies that support the existence of an EKC in similar samples.

“…Several studies have studied the existence of the Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) for Finland. Most studies invalidated it [12,[27][28][29]. The invalidation of the EKC hypothesis in most cases for Arctic countries, including Finland, could be a ributed to several factors.…”

In the context of increasing concerns about environmental sustainability and economic growth, this study evaluates the Environmental Phillips Curve hypothesis within Finland’s STIRPAT framework from 1990 to 2022. Finland is renowned for its commitment to environmental policies and renewable energy innovations, yet it faces challenges in balancing economic growth with environmental protection. The identified problem is the need to understand the trade-offs between economic growth and environmental impact in this specific context. Using the ARDL model, we analyze the effects of GDP per capita, renewable energy consumption (RENC), urbanization (URB), and unemployment rates (UR) on greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). Our findings show that while GDP and urbanization increase GHG emissions, renewable energy significantly reduces them. The Error Correction Model highlights quick adjustments toward equilibrium, reflecting the effectiveness of Finland’s environmental policies. Short-term results confirm the limited impact of urbanization on GHG emissions, possibly due to advanced urban planning. The FMOLS, DOLS, and CCR techniques further support these findings, emphasizing the importance of renewable energy in mitigating environmental impacts. This study provides crucial insights for policymakers seeking to balance economic growth with environmental sustainability in Finland.

“…This goes against some views that saturation of consumption should take place as countries become industrialized and reach a certain wealth level, a theory called the environmental Kuznets curve hypothesis (Kuznets, 1955;Selden and Song, 1994). Despite many studies and controversial results (Seppala et al, 2001;Canas et al, 2003;Bleischwitz et al, 2018), a saturation of materials consumption of highincome countries has not been put into evidence for the MF (Wiedmann et al, 2015;Plank et al, 2018;Oberle et al, 2019;Pothen and Welsch, 2019). Faced with this evidence, academics call for a profound transformation of the economic system and an abandonment of the objective of economic growth in favor of human wellbeing (Krausmann et al, 2017;Haberl et al, 2020).…”

Technological innovation is widely recognized as an endogenous element of capitalism driving economic growth and consumption. Although technological innovations have benefited human health, quality of life, and comfort, especially in high-income countries, uncontrolled industrialization of technological innovations and mass consumption exert strong environmental pressure on natural resources and contribute to the degradation of the environment. Apart from their endogenous role in economy and consumption, these innovations are characterized by specific trends that affect the sustainability of manufactured goods and consumption patterns, such as rate of market penetration, ownership of manufactured goods, product lifespan, reparability, and recyclability. This paper aims to contribute to a theorization of the relationship between technological innovation, consumption, and sustainability. To this end, we propose a typology of trends characterizing technological innovation to constitute a coherent framework. These trends are then documented to evaluate their magnitude, drivers, and related issues, following the broad principles of integrative literature reviews through a purposeful review sampling. The following trend framework emerged with regards to technological innovations: (a) accumulation; (b) diversification; (c) substitution; (d) complexification. The work contributes to identifying and formalizing: (1) the terminology regarding each trend, (2) related concepts that should be considered to theorize the relationship between technological innovation and (un)sustainable consumption patterns, (3) the main drivers that sustain these trends, (4) interactions between these trends, and (5) societal consequences on material and energy consumption and waste management.
