| Popis: | In this study, the existence of long-term trends in ecological footprint (EF), biocapacity, GDP, population and CO2 emissions for the period of 1961-2016, and their effect on the demographic, economic and biocapacity indicators on Ecuador's EF were identified. The long-term trend analysis was performed by means of a Mann-Kendall, non-parametric test. The development of a multiple linear regression model of the EF considers the population, GDP, biocapacity and its logarithmic transformations as returners. A backward removal method was used, in conjunction with the Akaike criterion (AIC) to validate the most suitable model in terms of adjusted-R2, NSE, BIAS and RMSE, respectively. The results show significant changes (p |
