Abstract
The EU transition to green economy and digital transformation plays a crucial role in achieving sustainable development with direct interest in allocating the necessary financial resources. In this framework, the aim of this paper is to evaluate the impact of e-government and natural resources rents on financial and human development as proxies for sustainable development. The analysis conducted for the period 2008–2022 revealed the role of economic growth and e-government in supporting the sustainable development in the EU. However, natural resources rent negatively impacted human development and only coal rents enhanced financial development in the old EU member states. The results could support the new EU policies to achieve sustainable development by an efficient use of natural resources and by implementing digitalization for public services.
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.
