Spatial econometric model of the Ecological Footprint

Sustainable development is an utopia within regions in Colombia, even so, we can talk about it to try to quantifying such development. The main purpose is quantify sustainable development through spatial econometric techniques, where the independent variables are the sustainable development constituents and the dependent variable is an indicator of strong sustainability: the ecological footprint for the CORPOCHIVOR region. Through of Lagrange Multipliers was identified that the best spatial model that explains the relation between the ecological footprint and the sustainable development constituents is the autoregressive model Durbin Spatial, it exposes that the sustainable development presents a structure of substantive spatial autocorrelation where the sustainable development constituents define the ecological footprint based on spatial lagged along all region.
