Comércio internacional de bens ambientais e seus efeitos na geração de inovações em energias renováveis: uma análise para países selecionados (2005- 2015)

Abstract

The 2001 Doha Ministerial Declaration (DMD) established an important link between trade and the environment. In order to encourage the dissemination of environmental goods and technology, the declaration provides for the reduction or elimination of tariff and non-tariff barriers for environmental goods and services. However, there is an impasse in this negotiating process, both because of the difficulty in defining environmental goods and also because of the lack of consensus in agreements between developed and developing countries. This monograph aimed to evaluate the hypothesis that tariffs on imports of environmental goods cause impacts on the generation of environmental innovations in renewable energies, between 2005 and 2015. Through the econometric model of panel data and based on information available from the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) and the World Bank, it was concluded that tariffs on imports of environmental goods have a negative impact on the generation of patents in renewable energies, for the sixty countries analyzed in the monograph.
