Abstract

This paper examines the relationship between private investment, digitalization, and coal rent in major coal-consuming countries from 1999 to 2019. Using the CS-FMOLS technique, the results show that a 1% increase in the ICT Development Index raises coal rent by 0.24%, underscoring digitalization's role in enhancing coal industry profitability. Conversely, a 1% increase in private participation in infrastructure reduces coal rent by 0.35%, as private investments focus on sustainable energy. The study concludes that while private investment supports clean energy, digitalization extends coal reliance. To support coal transition, policies should promote green ICT production, renewable energy, green finance, and good governance in sustainable projects.

主要煤炭消费国的私人气候投资、煤炭转型和数字化

本文研究了 1999 年至 2019 年主要煤炭消费国的私人投资、数字化和煤炭租金之间的关系。利用 CS-FMOLS 技术，结果显示，信息和通信技术发展指数每增加 1%，煤炭租金就会提高 0.24%，这凸显了数字化在提高煤炭行业盈利能力方面的作用。相反，私人参与基础设施建设每增加 1%，煤炭租金就会减少 0.35%，因为私人投资的重点是可持续能源。研究得出结论，私人投资支持清洁能源，而数字化则扩大了对煤炭的依赖。为支持煤炭转型，政策应促进绿色 ICT 生产、可再生能源、绿色金融和可持续项目的良好治理。

期刊介绍： Resources Policy is an international journal focused on the economics and policy aspects of mineral and fossil fuel extraction, production, and utilization. It targets individuals in academia, government, and industry. The journal seeks original research submissions analyzing public policy, economics, social science, geography, and finance in the fields of mining, non-fuel minerals, energy minerals, fossil fuels, and metals. Mineral economics topics covered include mineral market analysis, price analysis, project evaluation, mining and sustainable development, mineral resource rents, resource curse, mineral wealth and corruption, mineral taxation and regulation, strategic minerals and their supply, and the impact of mineral development on local communities and indigenous populations. The journal specifically excludes papers with agriculture, forestry, or fisheries as their primary focus.
