Resumo
La destrucción creativa es un proceso a través del cual se genera crecimiento económico mediante una constante innovación, producido en un ambiente de competitividad entre las empresas. La destrucción creativa verde, es generada a partir de innovaciones que contribuyen al desarrollo sustentable disminuyendo los impactos negativos en el ambiente, o conocidas como “verdes”. La presente investigación tiene por objetivo presentar el impacto de estas innovaciones en el crecimiento verde en México, que permite evaluar su papel en la competitividad empresarial, combate al cambio climático y la formulación de políticas públicas óptimas. El estudio emplea un modelo dinámico en series de tiempo para el análisis del periodo de 1995 al 2019. La evidencia empírica sugiere que no existe una relación entre el desarrollo de tecnologías ambientales en el crecimiento verde (significancia estadística superior al 0.05), comprobando que la generación de tecnologías relacionadas con el ambiente que “destruyan” a las existentes, no tiene relación con el crecimiento verde en México, sin embargo, los rendimientos del capital humano si tiene una inferencia significativa y positiva (coeficiente de 6.015). De acuerdo con los resultados de esta investigación, en términos de crecimiento verde para la economía mexicana, se debería analizar un enfoque de Investigación y Desarrollo (I+D) con un enfoque proactivo para incentivar el desarrollo de mayores innovaciones verdes que causen destrucción creativa verde.
Evolution of green growth in Mexico: Effects of green creative destruction through a time series
Creative destruction is a process through which economic growth is generated by constant innovation, fostered in a competitive environment among firms. Green creative destruction arises from innovations that contribute to sustainable development by reducing negative environmental impacts, commonly known as green innovations. The objective of this research is to present the impact of these innovations on green growth in Mexico, allowing for an evaluation of their role in business competitiveness, climate change mitigation, and the formulation of optimal public policies. The study employs a dynamic time series model to analyse the period from 1995 to 2019. Empirical evidence suggests that there is no significant relationship between the development of environmental technologies and green growth (with statistical significance levels above 0.10 and 0.05). This confirms that the generation of environmentally related technologies that “destroy” existing ones is not linked to green growth in Mexico. However, human capital returns do show a significant and positive effect (with a coefficient of 6.015). According to the results of this research, in terms of green growth for the Mexican economy, it is necessary to consider a proactive Research and Development (R&D) approach to foster the development of more green innovations that can drive ecological creative destruction.
