This paper examines the relationship among ecological footprint (EF)
electricity consumption
and GDP in China using annual data ranging from 1960 to 2019. However
factors like trade openness
urbanization
and life expectancy might increase EF as ecological distortions are mainly human-induced. This study explores the effect of these variables on the environment
which is captured by EF. Quantile Regression estimates indicate that electricity consumption and real GDP increase environmental degradation
while trade and urbanization reduce EF
allowing for a higher environmental quality. On the other hand
the spectral Granger-causality tests reveal that only urbanization and life expectancy affect environmental degradation over the whole frequency domain. In the current geopolitical scenario
relevant policy implications may be derived
