TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used different natural resource rents, domestic investment, trade openness, per capita income and their resulting impact on financial development in Pakistan by using a consistent time series data from 1975 to 2017 and employed ARDL-Bounds testing approach that is fairly worked under different order of integrated variables and displayed short and long-run parameter estimates.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated the relationship between the impact of natural resource exports on economic growth and the level of financial deepening by using the data of the selected Next-11 countries for the period of 1996-2016.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyzed the effects of natural resources, energy consumption and gross capital accumulation on economic growth over the period 1980-2018 in 124 countries classified according to different income levels using Panel Vector Autoregressive (PVAR) approach.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated how Industry 4.0 resources impact smart logistics and further influence dynamic remanufacturing and green manufacturing capability and, the final effect on business logistics sustainability.

TL;DR: Based on the statistical data of 30 provinces in China from 2003 to 2016, the authors empirically analyzes the effects of both natural resource abundance and resource industry dependence on the green total factor productivity and its mechanism of transmission.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the impact of disaggregated energy consumption and natural resources on environmental sustainability for the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries, and found that non-renewable energy has a detrimental effect on the environment, while renewable energy reduces deterioration in the environment in terms of ecological footprint and carbon footprint.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the coupling coordination degree of natural resources, financial development and ecological efficiency in China from a regional perspective, taking a natural and socio-economic dynamics into account.

TL;DR: In this paper, the impact of oil prices on the Dow Jones (DJ) Islamic index and sectoral stock indices was examined by using quantile-on-quantile approach to examine the impact across diverse quantiles of explanatory and outcome variables.

TL;DR: In this paper, a quantitative table of policy power is designed to construct the policy effects in various periods, and the threshold model and quantile regression model are employed to explore the threshold effect of policy powers on the policy implementation effects and the transformation of policy implementation effect at different development stages, respectively.

TL;DR: In this article, the linkage between natural resources and financial development by considering oil prices, economic growth and economic globalization as additional determinants in finance demand function for case of Pakistan over the period of 1972-2017 was investigated.

TL;DR: In this article, the sensitivity of Bitcoin returns to changes in gold price returns and some other international risk factors such as US stock market returns, interest rates, crude oil prices, the volatility index of the American stock market (VIX) and the Saint Louis financial stress index (STLFSI) was analyzed.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors reveal drivers, challenges, and opportunities for the sharing economy based on original evidence gathered from exemplary, first-mover” cases in the Brazilian manufacturing industry which use metallic natural resources.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors explored how financial globalization affects environmental degradation in the emerging economies by using ecological footprint as a proxy for environmental degradation and found that there is not an inverted U-shaped relationship between economic growth and environmental degradation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors empirically analyzed the relationship between economic growth, natural resources, and institutions quality and found that low-quality market resource allocation system and property rights system curbed the potential advantages of natural resources to promote economic development and caused the resource curse effect.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the volatility spillover between oil and stock markets returns (namely Karachi, Shanghai and Bombay) by using bivariate BEKK-GARCH model covering the period from 1997 to 2014.

TL;DR: In this article, a balanced panel study of 30 countries uses two single-equation models to investigate the impacts of natural resource abundance, international trade, financial development, trade openness and institutional quality on two proxies for economic development.

TL;DR: In this article, the role of natural resource dependence (NRD) in the conventional Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) hypothesis in resource-based countries was investigated. And the results imply that the EKC mechanism per se does not explain the growth-environment nexus in resource based countries, rather the explanation is rather found in a mix of both EKC and natural resource curse hypotheses.

TL;DR: The empirical results reveal the fact that the macro influence on the realized volatility of commodities is time varying, and macroeconomic factors and geopolitical risks are more relevant to crude oil volatilities compare to the other two.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the environmentally extended multiregional input-output model, combined with China's energy consumption data in 2002, 2007 and 2012, to calculate energy consumption based on various energy sources from the production and consumption sides in China's 30 provinces.

TL;DR: This study analyzes how China can employ blockchain technology to reform its energy sector and concludes that China should loosen its regulatory environment, amend the relevant laws, and balance the conflict between management and innovation.

TL;DR: Zhang et al. as discussed by the authors used the robust generalized least squares method and spatial measurement methods to conduct an empirical analysis of the relationship between financial development, industrial structure, and natural resource utilization efficiency.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors quantify the relationship between output, renewable energy, non-renewable energy, trade and carbon dioxide (C O 2 ) emissions for eight Sub-Saharan African countries during the 1980-2014 period with second generation panel cointegration methods.
