Abstract

Broadening access to finance is among the top priorities for governments and international development organizations worldwide. This study examines the impact of natural resource rents on access to finance in financial institutions and financial markets across 109 countries from 1996 to 2020. The results of dynamic two-step system generalized method of moments estimation demonstrate that total natural resource rents hinder access to finance in financial institutions and markets, confirming the natural resource curse hypothesis. Specifically, rents from oil, coal, minerals, and forests negatively affect access to finance in financial institutions and markets, while gas rent has surprisingly a positive effect on both. Furthermore, institutional quality significantly promotes access to finance in financial institutions and markets. All aspects of institutional quality (control of corruption, government effectiveness, political stability, regulatory quality, rule of law, and voice and accountability) positively affect access to finance except regulatory quality, which has an insignificant effect on access to finance in financial institutions. Moreover, our findings show that institutional quality significantly moderates the effect of natural resource rents on access to finance, specifically, it varies depending on whether the institutions are strong or weak, being positive in the former case and negative in the latter. The study conducts several robustness tests using additional controls, alternative measures of financial access, and sample sensitivity analysis, all of which confirm the findings. Finally, we suggest policy implications for relevant stakeholders.

自然资源租金和融资渠道
扩大融资渠道是世界各国政府和国际发展组织的首要任务之一。这项研究考察了1996年至2020年109个国家的自然资源租金对金融机构和金融市场融资渠道的影响。动态两步系统广义矩估计法的结果表明,总的自然资源租金阻碍了金融机构和市场的融资,证实了自然资源诅咒假说。具体而言,石油、煤炭、矿产和森林的租金对金融机构和市场的融资渠道产生了负面影响,而天然气租金对这两者都产生了令人惊讶的积极影响。此外,机构质量大大促进了金融机构和市场获得资金的机会。制度质量的各个方面(控制腐败、政府有效性、政治稳定、监管质量、法治以及话语权和问责制)都对获得融资产生积极影响,但监管质量除外,监管质量对金融机构获得融资的影响微乎其微。此外,我们的研究结果表明,制度质量显著调节了自然资源租金对获得融资的影响,具体而言,它取决于制度的强弱,前者是积极的,后者是消极的。该研究使用额外的控制、财务准入的替代措施和样本敏感性分析进行了几次稳健性测试,所有这些都证实了研究结果。最后,我们提出了对相关利益攸关方的政策影响。

期刊介绍: International trade, financing and investments have grown at an extremely rapid pace in recent years, and the operations of corporations have become increasingly multinationalized. Corporate executives buying and selling goods and services, and making financing and investment decisions across national boundaries, have developed policies and procedures for managing cash flows denominated in foreign currencies. These policies and procedures, and the related managerial actions of executives, change as new relevant information becomes available. The purpose of the Journal of Multinational Financial Management is to publish rigorous, original articles dealing with the management of the multinational enterprise. Theoretical, conceptual, and empirical papers providing meaningful insights into the subject areas will be considered. The following topic areas, although not exhaustive, are representative of the coverage in this Journal. • Foreign exchange risk management • International capital budgeting • Forecasting exchange rates • Foreign direct investment • Hedging strategies • Cost of capital • Managing transaction exposure • Political risk assessment • International working capital management • International financial planning • International tax management • International diversification • Transfer pricing strategies • International liability management • International mergers.
