“…However, as resource exploitation intensifies, a significant number of resource-rich cities inevitably face resource depletion. This leads to various challenges, including weak economic growth, declining employment opportunities, unused industrial land, and environmental degradation, which collectively present a major obstacle to achieving high-quality transformation in resource-depleted cities (Song et al, 2023). Numerous resource-based cities around the world are now termed as "shrinking cities" because they have been experiencing significant population losses (Li & Dewan, 2017;Long &Wu, 2016); these cities may be abandoned when the resources are depleted .…”

“…As the scale of a city expands, urban land utilization efficiency apparently exhibits a trend of initially rising and subsequently falling. The sample is divided into two groups for regression based on the size of the permanent resident population in urban areas: large and medium-sized cities (with a population of more than 500,000 people), and small cities (with a population of less than 500,000 people) (Song et al, 2023).…”

“…In recent years, the efficiency of industrial land use has garnered significant attention from both the government and scholars. For instance, several developed countries, including the United States and certain Eastern European nations, have increasingly focused on industrial land reconstruction or brownfield regeneration (Green, 2018;Jamecny & Husar, 2016). In China, various measures have been implemented, including the integration of underutilized land, mixed-use strategies for industrial land, and the reduction of industrial land (Xie et al, 2016).…”

Historically, local governments have relied on their monopoly position in the land market to consistently provide abundant industrial land at low prices, resulting in the adverse “resource curse” effect, whereby dependence on industrial land undermines high-quality industrial development. Avoiding the negative impact of industrial land dependence on land resources is an inherent requirement and the sole path towards establishing China's modern economic system based on high-quality industrial development. This study examines the impact, transmission mechanism, and heterogeneous effects of industrial land dependence on industrial land use efficiency using panel data from 286 cities at the prefecture level and above in China from 2003 to 2019. The findings indicate that: (1) industrial land dependence diminishes the efficiency of industrial land utilization. (2) Concerning the transmission mechanism, industrial land dependence exacerbates the misallocation of resources, hampers innovation, and leads to increased pollution emissions, thereby reducing industrial land utilization efficiency and compromising industrial development quality. (3) The study also examines the heterogeneity effect across varied regions, resource-rich cities, city sizes, and land supply reduction policies, demonstrating the pervasive nature of industrial land dependence at the national level. This study offers empirical evidence and policy implications from the perspective of the industrial land resource curse, aiming to facilitate the systematic withdrawal of current industrial land and foster high-quality industrial development.

“…Zhang et al [37] used data from resource-based cities in China to show that resource dependency inhibits the green transformation of cities. Nasiru et al [38] used the percentage of natural resource rent in GDP to measure the dependence of WAIFEM member countries on natural resources, and they proposed that resource dependency hinders the economic growth of member countries under any circumstances. Hu et al [39] confirmed that resource dependency inhibits economic growth, and as resource dependency increases, the economy will eventually show negative growth.…”

As the producers of environmental pollution, it is urgent for enterprises to make up for their lack of environmental responsibility and to realize green transformation and development. At the same time, resource dependence is promoted from the single level of economic growth to the field of green development, which is a field of research and development on resource dependence and broadens the perspective of related research in the academic world. In this paper, we select panel data from 30 regions in China from 2009 to 2022 to validate the research on the impact of resource dependence and corporate social responsibility on green innovation performance. The conclusions are as follows: (1) From 2009 to 2022, the average industrial green innovation performance of the 30 provinces in China was 0.553, with the efficiency values of the eastern, central, and western regions showing a gradual decreasing trend. (2) We found a consistently negative correlation between resource dependency and green innovation performance, confirming the existence of a “resource curse” linking the two. Meanwhile, the regression coefficient of CSR for green innovation performance was positive, confirming the driving effect of the former on the latter. (3) The “resource curse” does not manifest conditionally or have a threshold effect. Instead, we found that it has long-term and persistent characteristics. Meanwhile, the impact of CSR on green innovation performance shows a “reverse N-shaped” double-threshold effect, where CSR can improve green innovation performance only when it reaches a certain threshold value. This paper provides insights to support Chinese enterprises in enhancing their green innovation performance and lays a theoretical foundation for enterprises to fulfill their social responsibility.

“…In many developing countries, the pandemic has exposed their economic vulnerability due to limited financial resources and dependence on a few key export industries, such as fossil fuels (oil and gas). When oil prices drop, the economies of Energies 2023, 16, 3803 2 of 20 countries that rely heavily on oil exports may suffer significant losses which can lead to a decline in government revenue, budget deficits, and reduced investment in other sectors, such as renewable energy [6]. This, in turn, can affect the growth of renewable energy industries, as the government may have limited resources to support such initiatives.…”

The Differential Effects of Oil Prices on the Development of Renewable Energy in Oil-Importing and Oil-Exporting Countries in Africa

The shift to renewable sources of energy has become a critical economic priority in African countries due to energy challenges. However, investors in the development of renewable energy face problems with decision making due to the existence of multiple criteria, such as oil prices and the associated macroeconomic performance. This study aims to analyze the differential effects of international oil prices and other macroeconomic factors on the development of renewable energy in both oil-importing and oil-exporting countries in Africa. The study uses a panel vector error correction model (P-VECM) to analyze data from five net oil exporters (Algeria, Angola, Egypt, Libya and Nigeria) and five net oil importers (Kenya, Ethiopia, Congo, Mozambique and South Africa). The study finds that higher oil prices positively affect the development of renewable energy in oil-importing countries by making renewable energy more economically competitive. Economic growth is also identified as a major driver of the development of renewable energy. While high-interest rates negatively affect the development of renewable energy in oil-importing countries, it has positive effects in oil-exporting countries. Exchange rates play a crucial role in the development of renewable energy in both types of countries with a negative effect in oil-exporting countries and a positive effect in oil-importing countries. The findings of this study suggest that policymakers should take a holistic approach to the development of renewable energy that considers the complex interplay of factors, such as oil prices, economic growth, interest rates, and exchange rates.
