Abstract

This research aims to investigate the influence of FinTech implementation on responsible mineral resources management in Brazilian economy. For the study purposes it has utilized data set from 1990 to 2022 and for data analysis the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) approach has been used. The results show cointegration correlation between FinTech adoption, investment in eco-friendly mining, government funding for FinTech in the mining industry, environmental compliance, technological readiness, and sustainable mineral extraction. The result shows that a 1% increase in FinTech adoption and technology infrastructure readiness would improve sustainable mineral management by 0.01% and 0.03% respectively. However, a 1% increase in the government funding for FinTech in the mining industry, environmental compliance, and investments in sustainable mining technology adversely affect sustainable mineral management by 0.2%, 0.1%, and 0.1% over the long term. The finding provides insight about how variables may affect sustainable mining policies in the future. FinTech adoption and technology flexibility are expected to have a favorable impact on natural resources. This research offers important insights for using natural resources responsibly in the shift to Industry 4.0 by utilizing FinTech and technological readiness in Brazil.

金融科技的采用与自然资源的可持续配置：巴西矿产管理的证据

本研究旨在调查金融科技的实施对巴西经济中负责任的矿产资源管理的影响。研究采用了 1990 年至 2022 年的数据集，并使用了自回归分布滞后（ARDL）方法进行数据分析。结果显示，金融科技的采用、生态友好型采矿业的投资、政府对采矿业金融科技的资助、环境合规性、技术准备程度和可持续矿产开采之间存在协整相关性。结果显示，金融科技采用率和技术基础设施准备度每提高 1%，可持续矿产管理就会分别提高 0.01% 和 0.03%。然而，政府对采矿业金融科技的资助、环境合规性和可持续采矿技术投资每增加 1%，就会对可持续矿产管理产生不利影响，长期影响分别为 0.2%、0.1% 和 0.1%。这一发现为我们提供了有关变量在未来如何影响可持续采矿政策的见解。金融科技的采用和技术灵活性有望对自然资源产生有利影响。这项研究为巴西在向工业 4.0 转型的过程中利用金融科技和技术准备情况以负责任的方式利用自然资源提供了重要启示。

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.
