Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to examine the visions of the literature on technological innovation, energy consumption and institutional quality toward ecological footprint in the perspective of G-20 countries. This review inspects and produces prevailing empirical and theoretical literature on said problem. It firstly stimuluses the summary of technological innovation, energy consumption and institutional quality toward ecological footprint in G-20 countries. Secondly, it recognizes the literature based on the theoretical empirical and theoretical visions from the existing literature. Moreover, this article put light on theoretical approaches that defines how/ why these approaches work. Thirdly, this article suggests four productive dimensions for further policy development. This research also adds to the area of institutional quality, technological innovation, renewable energy concerning ecological footprint by critically investigating and synthesizing prevailing theory and research on ecological footprint, renewable energy, technological innovation and institutional quality.
