Abstract

Relevance

Understanding the relationship between economic growth, resource consumption, and social development is crucial for sustainable policy-making. While economic expansion is often linked to improved well-being, its effects depend on material consumption patterns and energy dependency.

Goals

This study aims to examine how domestic material consumption (DMC) and energy structure influence human development, particularly across different economic contexts.

Methods

Using a panel data approach, the research applies econometric models to analyze the impact of DMC and energy dependency on social indicators.

Results

Findings indicate that excessive DMC can hinder sustainable progress, while a higher share of renewable energy contributes to long-term social development and economic stability.

Conclusion

The study highlights the need for resource-efficient policies and energy diversification, contributing to the literature on sustainable growth and development strategies.

国内物质消费和能源结构对社会经济指标的影响——1990 - 2022年全球分析

理解经济增长、资源消耗和社会发展之间的关系对于制定可持续政策至关重要。虽然经济扩张往往与改善福祉有关，但其影响取决于物质消费模式和对能源的依赖。本研究旨在探讨国内物质消费（DMC）和能源结构如何影响人类发展，特别是在不同的经济背景下。方法采用面板数据方法，运用计量经济模型分析DMC和能源依赖对社会指标的影响。研究结果表明，过度的DMC会阻碍可持续发展，而更高的可再生能源份额有助于社会的长期发展和经济的稳定。结论该研究强调了资源节约型政策和能源多样化的必要性，为可持续增长和发展战略的文献做出了贡献。

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.
