Objetivo: Esta investigación analiza el crecimiento económico y degradación ambiental en países de ingreso medio alto utilizando un modelo de datos panel para explorar la heterogeneidad entre ellos. Metodología: se utiliza una especificación econométrica de panel para analizar la heterogeneidad entre crecimiento económico y medio ambiente en una muestra de países de ingreso medio alto: Argentina, Brasil, China, Guatemala, México, Perú, Tailandia, con efectos individuales fijos y aleatorios. Datos: se emplean indicadores mundiales de desarrollo anuales del Banco Mundial sobre las emisiones de bióxido de carbono per cápita (CO2pc) y el producto interno bruto per cápita (PIBpc) para el periodo de 1990 a 2020. Resultados: los resultados empíricos muestran tanto para México como para el resto de los seis países bajo estudio la ausencia de una Curva Ambiental de Kuznets (CAK) en el periodo analizado.
