Resumo(s)
The circular economy has gotten increasingly popular as strategy to balance economic prosperity and
environmental sustainability. Using data covering the years from 2011 to 2017 of the 28 EU countries
at that time we present a methodology to measure circularity levels at the country level, unveiling two
main circularity dimensions, environmental degradation and resource efficiency. These dimensions
were used as dependent variables for two dynamic panel models. Our study shows that innovation
and investment are both relevant to reduce environmental degradation and that the latter is also
significant in promoting resource efficiency. Additionally, our study suggests that circularity levels have
an inter-annual dependence, thus the level of a given time period depends on that of the previous
period.
