Liberalización comercial ambiental : análisis del impacto de la demanda de automotores ambientales sobre el PIB.

Abstract

When talking about a connection between trade and sustainable management of the environment, it should be known that we are talking about a relationship which, in most cases, is usually contradictory. The fact that trade and information have expanded worldwide means that there is a need to address cross-border social behavior when dealing with the environment and how it relates to trade. In Ecuador, the automotive industry plays an important role in terms of the country's economy, since it is one of the industries that generates the most income, it is also linked to the production and wholesale and retail sale of materials for the vehicle, as well as their maintenance. The industry becomes one of the largest generators of work in the country, both direct and indirect. It is public knowledge that the automotive sector generates a very negative impact on the environment due to the gas emissions that they release, creating problems in the short and long term. However, there are alternatives that reduce these risks and continue to help a country's GDP growth. Environmental vehicles, hybrid and electric cars, are the best option to reduce these damages and to continue contributing to the country's economy.
