Abstract

The strain on our planet's resources paints a vivid picture of a world in peril. While discussions examining how changes, driven by economic factors, enhance a sustainable environment have resulted in contradictory evidence, this study argues that the existing measures for structural change do not adequately consider innovation for environmental sustainability. To address this gap, we focus on how sectoral innovativeness (economic change with environmental consideration) across mining, construction, manufacturing and government sectors influences ecological footprint using an expanded stochastic effects by regression on population, wealth, and technology (STIRPAT) model and focusing on Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Turkey (MINT) nations. Again, we examine how mining innovativeness could contribute to curing the resource curse on the environment.
