A curva ambiental de Kuznets (EKC): a disposição de resíduos sólidos na Colômbia
Resumo
A hipótese da curva ambiental de Kuznets (EKC) sustenta que a relação entre a degradação ambiental e o rendimento per capita segue uma trajetória em forma de U invertido. O propósito deste artigo é provar a EKC para Colômbia utilizando dados de resíduos sólidos dispostos em terrenos sanitários municipais. A análise se baseia em informação procedente de 707 municípios no período 2008-2011. Entre os principais resultados, encontra-se evidência que apoia a hipótese da CKA. Esta hipótese se mantém depois de controlar variáveis, tais como a densidade populacional e a altitude sobre o nível do mar. Os resultados também indicam que o ponto de inflexão não é homogêneo através de todas as regiões do país.Downloads
