| description | The purpose of this research is to assess the effect of the Human Development Index (HDI) on carbon dioxide emissions per capita with data from 19 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean for the period 1990-2019 with annual frequency. Regarding the level of human development, the indices of the income, health and education dimensions were estimated. A quantile regression was used to evaluate the effect of the HDI regressor on the different quantiles of the distribution of emissions per capita. According to the results, the effect is greater in the upper deciles of the distribution of emissions, therefore, if specific policies are not assumed in the environmental dimension, the achievement of higher levels of human development, indicated by a higher HDI, would have pernicious consequences on emissions, making development not go hand in hand with environmental sustainability. |

El propósito de esta investigación es estimar el efecto del índice de desarrollo humano (IDH) sobre las emisiones de dióxido de carbono per cápita con datos de 19 países de América Latina y el Caribe que cubren el período 1990-2019 con frecuencia anual. En cuanto al nivel de desarrollo humano, se evaluaron los índices de las dimensiones ingresos, salud y educación. Se utilizó una regresión cuantílica para estimar el efecto del regresor IDH sobre los diferentes cuantiles de la distribución de las emisiones per cápita. De acuerdo con los resultados, el efecto es mayor en los deciles superiores de la distribución de las emisiones, por lo que, de no adoptarse políticas específicas en la dimensión ambiental, la consecución de mayores niveles de desarrollo humano, indicado por un IDH más alto, tendría consecuencias perniciosas sobre las emisiones, haciendo que el desarrollo no esté acompañado de sostenibilidad ambiental.
