Chun Jiang et al.

Summary: This study employs the Quantile Autoregressive Distributed Lag (QARDL) model to analyze the relationship between natural resource rent and financial development, revealing that the relationship is quantile-dependent and providing meaningful contributions. Findings reject parameter constancy for the Chinese economy and suggest a resource curse hypothesis, while also identifying GDP, gross capital formation, and trade openness as positive determinants of financial development.

A Multivariate VAR Model for Evaluating Sustainable Finance and Natural Resource Curse in West Africa: Evidence from Nigeria and Ghana

Olatunji Abdul Shobande et al.

Summary: The study investigates the importance of sustainable finance for the natural resource curse in Nigeria and Ghana, confirming the existence of a financial resource curse in these countries. The findings highlight the critical role of sustainable financing in natural resource management, with the human development index identified as a key mediator in how sustainable finance impacts the natural resource curse. This study suggests the need for a vibrant and sustainable financing strategy to support domestic private investors in natural resource exploration and development, while also emphasizing the importance of a strong financial market for promoting effective natural resource management policies.

Do natural resources rents and institutional development matter for financial development under quantile regression approach?

Tarek Bel Hadj et al.

Summary: The study found that natural resource rents have a negative impact on financial development in countries with developed financial systems, but have a positive effect in countries with high natural resource income. Regardless of the level of resource income, the rule of law and human capital have positive effects on financial development. In addition, anti-corruption measures also have a positive influence on financial market development in countries with developed financial sectors.
