Abstract
This study explores the impact of oil resource abundance on industrial structure in 57 oil-exporting countries within the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) from 1990 to 2020. Using the System Generalized Method of Moments (SYS-GMM) models, the research highlights a negative correlation between oil exports and industrial structure dimensions. Countries such as Algeria, Angola, Azerbaijan, Chad, Congo, Iraq, and Libya are particularly affected by the resource curse, facing slower industrial development, while China, Lithuania, Malaysia, and New Zealand demonstrate resilience and positive industrial outcomes. The study also shows that oil abundance influences foreign direct investment (FDI), though this influx does not consistently translate into industrial growth. Policymakers are advised to implement strategies that balance oil revenue management, promote industrial diversification, and align education spending with industry needs. Trade openness is also emphasized as key to fostering industrial progress. These findings offer critical guidance for addressing the resource curse and achieving long-term sustainable industrial growth.
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.
