Abstract

Protecting and improving environmental quality is essential for sustainable development. This study considers natural resource depletion, resource tax, institutional quality, and green innovation, which are likely to impact environmental quality. These issues are addressed by Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 7, 12, and 18. The study aims to uncover the influence of the variables we have considered on environmental quality in a sample of 18 Organisation for Economic Co‐operation and Development (OECD) countries from 1994 to 2020. Before panel data analysis, we conducted preliminary tests to determine the most suitable techniques. The econometric procedure comprises four stages: unit root analysis, cointegration analysis, estimation of long‐run coefficients using two different methods, and panel causality analysis. The empirical findings suggest that resource tax and green energy innovation positively impact environmental quality for the panel in the long run. Results based on the country show that institutional quality has a negative impact on environmental quality in Portugal but a positive impact in Luxembourg. Although resource taxes positively impact environmental quality in Portugal, they harm Luxembourg. Lastly, natural resource depletion negatively impacts environmental quality in Luxembourg. There are no statistically significant results for other countries. The study concludes with policy recommendations.

经合组织国家向可持续环境迈出的一步：自然资源枯竭、资源税、制度质量和绿色创新重要吗？

保护和改善环境质量对可持续发展至关重要。本研究考虑了可能影响环境质量的自然资源枯竭、资源税、机构质量和绿色创新。可持续发展目标（SDGs）7、12 和 18 涉及到这些问题。本研究以经济合作与发展组织（OECD）的 18 个国家为样本，旨在揭示 1994 年至 2020 年间我们所考虑的变量对环境质量的影响。在进行面板数据分析之前，我们进行了初步测试，以确定最合适的技术。计量经济学程序包括四个阶段：单位根分析、协整分析、使用两种不同方法估计长期系数以及面板因果关系分析。实证结果表明，从长期来看，资源税和绿色能源创新对面板环境质量有积极影响。基于国家的结果显示，葡萄牙的制度质量对环境质量有负面影响，而卢森堡的制度质量对环境质量有正面影响。虽然资源税对葡萄牙的环境质量有积极影响，但对卢森堡却不利。最后，自然资源枯竭对卢森堡的环境质量有负面影响。其他国家在统计上没有显著结果。研究最后提出了政策建议。

期刊介绍： Natural Resources Forum, a United Nations Sustainable Development Journal, focuses on international, multidisciplinary issues related to sustainable development, with an emphasis on developing countries. The journal seeks to address gaps in current knowledge and stimulate policy discussions on the most critical issues associated with the sustainable development agenda, by promoting research that integrates the social, economic, and environmental dimensions of sustainable development. Contributions that inform the global policy debate through pragmatic lessons learned from experience at the local, national, and global levels are encouraged. The Journal considers articles written on all topics relevant to sustainable development. In addition, it dedicates series, issues and special sections to specific themes that are relevant to the current discussions of the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development (CSD). Articles must be based on original research and must be relevant to policy-making. Criteria for selection of submitted articles include: 1) Relevance and importance of the topic discussed to sustainable development in general, both in terms of policy impacts and gaps in current knowledge being addressed by the article; 2) Treatment of the topic that incorporates social, economic and environmental aspects of sustainable development, rather than focusing purely on sectoral and/or technical aspects; 3) Articles must contain original applied material drawn from concrete projects, policy implementation, or literature reviews; purely theoretical papers are not entertained.
