Investigating an optimal resource dependency to prevent natural resource curse: Evidence from countries with the curse risk

Converting a resource curse into a resource blessing: The function of institutional quality with different dimensions

“…Therefore, according to some recent studies, to support economic growth and to successfully implement natural resource management, a strong and efficient finance system is essential (Pradhan et al, 2016). In addition, a recent study by Destek et al (2022), validated that there is inverted U-shaped relationship between natural resource rents and economic growth.…”

“…It will be more sensible to decide which institutional quality indicator is more helpful in reducing or eliminating the resource curse and to base recommendations on this finding in order to make these suggestions in a sound manner. Even if the institutional quality does not completely eliminate the impact of the resource curse, it still crucial to identify the mitigating role of institutional quality because Destek et al (2022) determined the optimal rates of resource dependence for countries and demonstrated that resource dependence to a certain extent is beneficial for national economies.…”

Spatiotemporal characteristics, types, and paths of industrial transformation in typical resource-based cities in the Yellow River Basin

“…黄河流域能源矿产资源丰富， 煤炭、 天然气储 量分别约占全国基础储量的 75%和 61% [1] ， 在中国 [4][5][6][7] ， 包括政策措施在城市转型中的作用、 旧企业退 出与新企业进入对城市转型的影响等， 并对城市产 业变化所产生的经济和社会效应等进行了探讨 [8][9][10] 。 在大量实证研究基础上， 国外学者总结提出了解释 资源型城市形成原因的生命周期 [11,12] 、 资源诅咒 [13,14] 、 挤出效应 [15] 等理论， 为资源型城市转型研究奠定了 理论基础。20 世纪 90 年代末， 中国部分以能矿资源 开采为主的城市出现了资源枯竭以及由此引发的 经济社会衰退问题。国内学者基于西方学者提出 的资源型城市发展理论， 对中国矿业城市的发展问 题 [16] 、 可持续发展机理 [17] 进行了研究。进入 21 世纪 后， 随着阜新被确立为全国第一个资源枯竭城市经 济转型试点市， 国内学者对于资源型城市转型发展 内容的关注不断增多。研究主要集中在资源型城 市的类型划分 [18,19] 、 发展策略 [20] 、 转型模式 [21] 等方面， 研究方法主要为定性研究。2013 年国务院出台的 《规划》 明确了 262 个资源型城市。此后， 国内学者 对于资源型城市的研究逐渐转向定量研究， 包括产 业结构演化 [22] 、 转型水平测度与评价 [23][24][25] 、 影响因素 识别与作用机制分析 [26] 等。在通过对资源型城市转 型发展的定性、 定量研究后发现， 资源型城市发展 普遍具有路径依赖特征， 要实现可持续发展的关键 在于产业转型 [27] ， 而影响产业转型的因素集中在交 通区位、 资源禀赋、 制度政策、 技术水平、 体制机制 等方面 [28]…”

Tax and sustainable development in sub-Saharan Africa: Beyond accountability and responsiveness

“…In essence, the measure reflects the three principal components of sustainable development: economic, social, and environmental sustainability. In recent literature, the underlying sustainable development measurement has also been preferred (Destek et al 2022;Din et al 2022;Hametner 2022;Nchofoung and Asongu 2022).…”

“…Existing research refutes the idea that a nation's economic health will suffer because of the richness of its natural resources (Destek et al 2022), an idea known as the 'resource curse hypothesis' (Hartwell et al 2019). In essence, the notion that shifting natural resource rents to the appropriate sectors can increase a country's economic production suggests that problems will occur if an economy is too dependent on natural resources.…”
