   A classic attempt to explain the relationship between a human population and its impact on the environment is the IPAT equation. The equation maintains that impacts on ecosystems (I) are the product of the population size (P), affluence (A), and technology (T) of the human population in question.

   Does population affect affluence?

   • Furthermore, most studies have found that population has a greater impact (i.e., elasticity) than affluence (e.g., Dietz and Rosa, 1997; Shi, 2003; York et al., 2003; Cole and Neumayer, 2004; Martinez-Zarzoso et al., 2007; Liddle and Lung, 2010 ).
