Electricity generated through fossil fuels degrades the environment. Hence, the promotion of green electricity should be the foundation for sustainable development. In this context, the present work probes the impact of green electricity consumption (GEC), technological innovation (TEI), democracy (DEM), and economic growth (GR) on the ecological footprint (EF) and assesses the moderating effects of democracy on EF from 1995 to 2018 in six ASEAN nations. The empirical results show that renewable electricity, TEI, and DEM promote ecological quality.

Achieving carbon neutrality and reducing global temperature rise below 2 °C necessitates shifting from conventional energy to renewable energy and ensuring sustainable use of natural resources. However, economic, political, and financial risks significantly impact renewable energy investments and natural resources' sustainable utilization.

The development of the financial sector is one of the main macroeconomic goals for developing countries as well as developed ones.

El presente estudio tiene como objetivo evaluar el impacto de la deuda pública sobre el crecimiento económico de Ecuador. Tomando en cuenta que la literatura en su mayoría demuestra que el excesivo endeudamiento público compromete el desempeño económico de los países en el largo plazo, por ello se aporta con evidencia actualizada sobre este tema. Con base a esto se utiliza econometría de series de tiempo implementando modelos de mínimos cuadrados ordinarios (MCO), un modelo de vectores autorregresivos (VAR) y técnicas de cointegración y causalidad.

In Ecuador, the income obtained from the exploitation of natural resources, especially hydrocarbons and minerals, have been consolidated as the basis of economic development, in turn, the lack of economic and technological resources, as many of the developing countries development, have caused these activities to be concessioner to foreign companies, causing a conflict of interest in which the economic benefit has exceeded environmental sustainability.
