Environmental ethics, Energy consumption, RETINA, Green AI, Eco-RETINAAbstract
The present work explores the relationship between environmental ethics and applied econometrics, focusing on the energy consumption of econometric models training. As an example of good practices, the RETINA algorithm has been programmed in Python following a Green AI approach. Bottlenecks present in the original algorithm have been eliminated, and the ability to measure CO2 emissions during the algorithm's training has been added. Additionally, new functionalities that were not present in the original procedure have been incorporated. This new version has been named Eco-RETINA.
