Abstract
ABSTRACT This article examines the nexus between economic complexity and ecological degradation while considering the role of globalization for a panel of African countries. The empirical findings of Driscoll-Kraay show that economic complexity and political globalization reduce the ecological footprint. However, aggregate globalization as well as social and economic globalization exacerbate the ecological footprint. The interactive results suggest that economic complexity with globalization further increases environmental degradation in Africa. The Dumitrescu and Hurlin causality suggests a one-way causality from globalization and economic complexity to the ecological footprint. The implications of these findings are discussed.
