Özet

As much as the importance of designing sustainable environmental policies, consideration of their probable effects is also crucial to foresee whether or not they may create desired changes. To this end, following more robust and current methodologies, Lagrange multiplier (LM) and residual augmented least-square LM (RALS-LM) approaches, this study investigates whether policy shocks to ecological footprints of Mediterranean countries have a permanent and temporary effect on the pathway of a sustainable environment. Results point out that a stricter policy stance should be required to generate permanent desired changes in the environment and achieve environmental sustainability.
