The impact of a new techno-nationalism era on eco-economic decoupling

Abstract

This is the first study to examine the eco-economic decoupling process and the forces of economic growth, national security policies, and social stability that it entails within the discipline of techno-nationalism. It offers valuable starting points for evaluating and contrasting the environmental impacts of the United States, China, Germany, Japan, and the United Kingdom. It has several technological characteristics and underlying explanations for its behavior. Based on decoupling and weighted values from 2000 to 2019, we approached the ENTICE-BR model. One may calculate the percentage change in a portfolio's return using beta decoupling. Fossil fuels and carbon dioxide emissions are evaluated for their weighted returns and associated risks. In this study, we find further evidence that eco-economic indicators lead to greater use of resources, energy, and emissions into the environment. The countries with the best portfolio returns were found to be Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, and the United States. The results collectively point to the emergence of techno-nationalism as a primary factor in the expansion of the industrial, energy, and service value-added.
