Indigenous versus foreign innovation and ecological footprint: Dynamic threshold effect of corruption

Muhammad Salman, Donglan Zha, Guimei Wang · 2022 · Environmental and Sustainability Indicators

Summary. Indigenous and foreign innovation affect ecological footprint differently across developed and developing countries. In developed nations, both types of innovation reduce environmental impact, but this benefit reverses when corruption rises above a threshold. In developing countries, innovation increases ecological footprint, with corruption further worsening this effect. Economic growth and urbanization drive higher footprints globally.
