Abstract
This paper provides key insights into China's sustainable energy investment from 1995 to 2021 through a detailed quantitative analysis. It identifies a significant negative correlation between vulnerability to the resource curse and sustainable energy investment, underscoring the detrimental effects of resource dependency on sustainability and energy security. In contrast, innovation, as reflected in patent applications, positively impacts sustainable energy investments, highlighting the role of technological progress. Trademarks show no significant effect on these investments, possibly due to their broader economic role. The study also points out the negative impact of poverty on sustainable energy investment, revealing underlying socioeconomic challenges. The paper recommends strategies for diversification, fostering innovation, alleviating poverty, and investing in renewable energy infrastructure and digital technology to support China's shift towards a sustainable energy future.
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.
