Key Points

This study aims to analyze the determinants of the ecological footprint in Iran, focusing on economic, technological, and structural factors.
Time series data from 1989 to 2024 were used.
The autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) method was applied to assess long-term and short-term effects.
Variables included economic growth, globalization, energy consumption, financial development, and technological advances.
Findings confirm the environmental Kuznets curve, where increasing GDP initially worsens the ecological footprint but later improves it after reaching a specific income threshold.
Non-renewable energy consumption has a significant positive impact on the ecological footprint.
Financial development is the only policy variable significantly reducing the ecological footprint, while globalization has a negative but non-significant effect.

Answers are grounded in this paper and cite their sources.
