Natural resources play a role in economic development, but the exact nature and importance of that role is a matter of dispute. The spectacular development of natural resource poor Japan compared with a, say, relatively well endowed Argentina certainly indicates that the lack of resources need not undully hinder development while their abundance does not insure rapid growth. Much of the difference lies, undoubtedly, with the human and institutional factors.

The interrelationship between natural resource and economic development, hasn't reached an agreement. Some economists believe that rich natural resources promote economic growth. On the contrary, some economists think that rich natural resources hinder economic growth. Based on previous studies, this paper studies the relationship between natural resource and economic growth in our country. We try to explain the "Curse of Resources" through an example of Shanxi. Finally, we give some policy recommendations to avoid the "Curse of Resources".

There has been a growing scholarly interest in the links between natural resources and socio-economic development. While numerous studies offer robust evidence on the detrimental effects of natural resource dependence on economic outcomes, no study has robustly investigated the link between natural resource dependence and quality of life across countries. The aim of this study is to address this gap in the literature by investigating the relationship between natural resource dependency and social progress. Using the cross-country data from 143 countries for the period of 2012 to 2019, we find that resource rents are significantly and negatively linked to the Social Progress Index. Moreover, this effect remains robust even after controlling the potential transmission channels such as governance, economic development and human capital accumulation.

Research background: Globally, many countries are dependent on natural resources, for this reason, their revenue management becomes an important aspect for their economies. It is necessary to understand the relations between institutional factors and natural resource revenue management from the global point of view. It means to identify which institutional aspects impact both positively and negatively the revenue management. Purpose of the article: The purpose of the article is to find out which conditions, or their combinations, regarding the institutional environment, lead to a certain level of revenue management. It means to comprehend which conditions, respectively their combinations, result in both higher and lower levels of revenue management and consequently influence its sustainability. Methods: Basically, the fuzzy-set qualitative comparative analysis is used to empirically examine the relations between institutional background and the revenue management in natural resource rich economies. The Resource Governance Index, as the global index measuring the quality of governance in individual countries is used as the input for the analysis. Findings & Value added: It was found that the individual institutional aspects have diverse effects on revenue management and its resilience. A few sufficient conditions were revealed, accountability, respectively absence of open data, rule of law, government effectiveness, in terms of higher, respectively lower level of revenue management. Political stability and absence of violence were identified as irrelevant conditions in terms of higher level of revenue management. Consistent pathways to reach higher and lower levels of revenue management were found.

Abstract We look at the formation of new Indian states in 2001 to uncover the effects of political secession on the comparative economic performance of natural resource rich and natural resource poor areas. Resource rich constituencies fared comparatively worse within new states that inherited a relatively larger proportion of natural resources. We argue that these patterns reflect how political reorganisation affected the quality of state governance of natural resources. We describe a model of collusion between state politicians and resource rent recipients that can account for the relationships we see in the data between natural resource abundance and post-break-up local outcomes.

Rural residents, particularly recent in-migrants, are often characterized by preferences for a tranquil rural lifestyle based on the attributes of an open countryside. A survey of residents of an isolated rural county in West Virginia was conducted to explore the proposition that recent rural in-migrants are more opposed to the growth of natural resource based activities which are detrimental to the rural countryside than are long-term residents of the County. The hypothesis was not supported, as both recent in-migrants and long-time residents strongly favored economic development of the County's natural resources over preservation of the natural countryside.

The article provides a comparative analysis of the structure of taxes and fees on the use of real estate in European countries. An analysis of the redistribution of fiscal payments of EU member states and some post-Soviet countries. The fiscal system is an important tool for the state redistribution of natural resource rent payments. As you know, the tax system is one of the main levers for creating favorable conditions for socio-economic development of the state and the greening of the environment. Research related to the study of the rental phenomenon has a long history. The concept of rent began to take shape long before the active discussion in economics. The article reveals the essence of the concept of rent and investigates the mechanisms of redistribution of rent payments from the use of natural resources. As you know, the taxation system, along with the legal and judicial systems, is one of the main levers for creating favorable conditions for socio-economic development of the state and the greening of the environment. The structure of real estate includes land resources (land plots), which form the basis of further economic activity. Owners or users of natural resources in the course of economic activity receive rent or income from the use of real estate. Rent payments from the use of natural resources (nature use) affect the filling of the budgets of many countries through the system of taxation of individuals and legal entities. In this way, local budgets, the state treasury, stabilization funds and funding for environmental protection and natural resources formed. Analyzing the state and intensity of nature management was found that the economic efficiency of use and redistribution of natural resource payments of European countries is significantly heterogeneous. In European countries, with a high level of development, the share of rent payments from the use of natural resources is insignificant, without the disadvantages of resource-oriented economies. The structure of budget revenues from the use of real estate, including land tax analyzed. The redistribution of fiscal payments for land in European countries on payments from sale (gift, inheritance), from use (actually land tax), from registration (registration fee) and other payments provided by the legislation of the country.

Indonesia, as the largest country in Southeast Asia, with vast natural resources and marine waters, the world's largest Muslim state, occupying the most important geostrategic position in the region, cannot but claim to be one of the key places on the Chinese “Аsian chessboard”. In connection with the rapid growth of the economic and political influence of the PRC, which is challenging America on the world stage, Indonesia undoubtedly seeks to take advantage of the current situation and take part in the implementation of Beijing's ambitious plans. Indonesian President Joko Widodo is implementing the concept of the country's economic development by strengthening all-round ties with China within the framework of the conjugation of the Indonesian national concept of the “global marine axis” with the Chinese megaproject “one belt – one road”.

he natural resources utilization for economic development has become the driver of land cover and environmental change. Logging and coal production have created dryland. The policy of natural resources utilization for development in Kutai Timur Regency has changed the net value of its natural resource capital. For Kutai Timur Regency it is recorded that between the year of 2004 - 2006, the income of its natural resources was as much as Rp. 13,39 Trillion. The total change of the economic value of its resource has also created the need for the environmental cost of Rp. 191 Billion annually since around 95,742 ha has changed into dry land. However comparing to the need of annual budget to treat the critical land, the net value of its natural resources capital is relatively high.
