The findings indicate that a rebound effect occurs when the level of environmental innovation surpasses the calculated threshold level (14.254%), suggesting that environmental innovations exert pressure on the environment. Existing empirical results point to a rebound effect, which refers to offsetting the gains from environmental innovation by channeling them into production and consumption.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessEnvironment rebound effect; Ecological footprint; Environmental innovation; PSTRArticleQ2WOS:001183921200001N/A
