WOLF, Rayan; BENITEZ RODIGUEZ, Angel Manuel; FREITAS DE MEDEIROS, Dayane y CARDOSO TEIXEIRA, Erly. Estimation of the environmental Kuznets Curve for the State of Mato Grosso do Sul. Investig. Agrar. [online]. 2019, vol.21, n.2, pp.124-135. ISSN 2305-0683. https://doi.org/10.18004/investig.agrar.2019.diciembre.124-135.
The Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) considers that some environmental degradation measures would increase in the early stages of economic growth, and to achieve a certain level of income would decrease degradation. In view of the environmental impacts that the state of Mato Grosso do Sul has suffered, this article aims to investigate the hypothesis of the Environmental Kuznets Curve for the state, trying to identify the relationship between deforestation and economic growth. To this, data from 2008 were used, with employment of a spatial econometric methodology, self-spatial correlation indexes. The results indicated that there is no evidence that the Environmental Kuznets Curve was inverted for the state, explained by the fact that the curve is in its initial stage, since the MS state economy is extremely dependent on the agricultural sector and having characteristics of an economy still in development, still in the initial stage of the Kuznets Environmental Curve.
