Efficiency and dynamic speculation literature focused on financial and crude oil markets whereas empirical studies on natural gas markets are limited. This study examines market efficiency and dynamic speculation in major European natural gas hubs (the Zeebrugge (ZEE) hub of Belgium, Title Transfer Facility (TTF) hub of the Netherlands, and National Balancing Point (NBP) hub of the UK) during the COVID-19 pandemic and Russia-Ukraine conflict. Using the Asymmetric multifractal detrended fluctuation analysis (A-MFDFA) and the power law exponent (PLE) approach, we show that European natural gas markets exhibit an asymmetric multifractal behavior and long-memory effects, with variations observed during crises. The ZEE hub in Belgium and the NBP hub in the UK demonstrate a higher multifractality under different trends during the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine conflict, respectively. Notably, the TTF hub in the Netherlands emerges as the most efficient market during all subperiods. Moreover, our results, using the PLE approach, suggest that European gas market inefficiencies during crises can be attributed to speculative strategies that create self-perpetuating dynamics and diminish market transparency, leading to heightened risk and volatility in gas prices. Our findings underscore the need for regulatory intervention to mitigate excessive speculation and enhance transparency in gas markets. Diversifying gas supplies and fortifying European gas hubs emerge as pivotal strategies to bolster resilience and stability during crises.

有关效率和动态投机的文献主要集中在金融和原油市场，而对天然气市场的实证研究却很有限。本研究考察了 COVID-19 大流行和俄乌冲突期间欧洲主要天然气枢纽（比利时泽布吕赫（ZEE）枢纽、荷兰所有权转移设施（TTF）枢纽和英国国家平衡点（NBP）枢纽）的市场效率和动态投机。利用非对称多分形去趋势波动分析 (A-MFDFA) 和幂律指数 (PLE) 方法，我们表明欧洲天然气市场表现出非对称多分形行为和长记忆效应，并在危机期间观察到变化。在 COVID-19 大流行和俄乌冲突期间，比利时的 ZEE 枢纽和英国的 NBP 枢纽分别在不同趋势下表现出较高的多分形性。值得注意的是，荷兰的 TTF 中心在所有子时期都是最有效的市场。此外，我们使用 PLE 方法得出的结果表明，危机期间欧洲天然气市场的低效率可归因于投机策略，这种策略会产生自我延续的动力并降低市场透明度，从而导致天然气价格的风险和波动加剧。我们的研究结果表明，有必要进行监管干预，以减少过度投机，提高天然气市场的透明度。实现天然气供应多样化和加强欧洲天然气枢纽，是在危机期间增强复原力和稳定性的关键战略。

Mineral resources are important for economic development, significantly impacting industrial growth and presenting complex challenges such as resource scarcity and environmental sustainability. In this context, the present study explores the linkage between natural resources rents, energy productivity, eco-innovation, and carbon emissions considering BRICS economies. Using data from 1990 to 2021, the result of the present study shows that natural resources rent, and economic growth contribute to environmental pollution, indicating that revenues from natural resources in BRICS economies are used for economic expansion, thus leading to carbon emissions. In contrast, green innovation and energy productivity significantly reduce carbon emissions and improve environmental quality. Similarly, renewable energy supply also contributes to the improvement of environmental quality. Our research highlights the critical need for policies that not only restore natural resources and enhance green innovation to boost energy productivity but also address the negative impact of these innovations on carbon emissions while acknowledging that natural resource rents can exacerbate these emissions.

矿产资源对经济发展十分重要，对工业增长产生重大影响，并带来资源稀缺和环境可持续性等复杂挑战。在此背景下，本研究探讨了自然资源租金、能源生产率、生态创新和碳排放之间的联系。利用 1990 年至 2021 年的数据，本研究结果显示，自然资源租金和经济增长造成了环境污染，表明金砖国家经济体的自然资源收入被用于经济扩张，从而导致碳排放。相比之下，绿色创新和能源生产率大大减少了碳排放，改善了环境质量。同样，可再生能源供应也有助于改善环境质量。我们的研究强调，亟需制定政策，不仅要恢复自然资源和加强绿色创新以提高能源生产率，还要解决这些创新对碳排放的负面影响，同时承认自然资源租金会加剧这些排放。

The present study investigates the correlation between resource trading and green economic recovery strategies, with a particular focus on the scientific contribution towards understanding the effects of trade on environmental sustainability in 43 African countries from 1973 to 2019. The results demonstrate that although the exportation of natural resources can impede the achievement of environmentally friendly economic goals, the importation of resources can stimulate the development of sustainable technology through trade. Resource trading plays a crucial dual function for policymakers seeking to achieve a harmonious equilibrium between economic development and sustainability. The significance of this study is in the provision of practical suggestions, such as the adaptation of resource portfolios, the incorporation of environmental provisions into trade agreements, the allocation of resources towards sustainable infrastructure, and the advancement of inclusive development. These solutions provide a practical method for harmonizing resource trade policies with the goals of green economic recovery. This work enhances the existing literature on sustainable development by examining the trade-offs and synergies between resource trade and sustainability. It provides practical strategies for attaining a balanced and environmentally ecologically sound economic recovery.

本研究调查了资源贸易与绿色经济复苏战略之间的相关性，尤其侧重于为了解 1973 年至 2019 年 43 个非洲国家的贸易对环境可持续性的影响做出科学贡献。研究结果表明，虽然自然资源的出口会阻碍环境友好型经济目标的实现，但资源的进口可以通过贸易刺激可持续技术的发展。对于寻求实现经济发展与可持续发展和谐平衡的政策制定者来说，资源贸易发挥着至关重要的双重作用。本研究的意义在于提供了切实可行的建议，如调整资源组合、将环境条款纳入贸易协定、为可持续基础设施分配资源以及促进包容性发展。这些解决方案为协调资源贸易政策与绿色经济复苏目标提供了切实可行的方法。这部著作通过研究资源贸易与可持续发展之间的权衡与协同作用，完善了现有的可持续发展文献。它为实现平衡且无害环境生态的经济复苏提供了切实可行的战略。

As global demand for minerals and metals surges, the mining industry is faced with the triple challenge of finite resources, societal resistance, and environmental considerations. To address these challenges the mining sector is relying on innovation and technological advancements to enable exploitation of so far inaccessible deposits, minimize energy consumption, and improve sustainability. This study presents a systematic review of the literature on innovation in mining and the unique management approach being adopted to respond to the above challenges. From an initial corpus of 4059 scientific articles, a reproducible process filtered out 222 documents, published between 1996 and 2023. The analysis reveals that the literature on innovation in the mining industry, predominantly qualitative and exploratory in nature, is showing a shift towards empirical validation using advanced quantitative methods. Mining innovation appears to be shaped by the industry's inherent features such as a conservative culture, market volatility, emphasis on productivity, and profitability. While the industry somewhat risk-averse approach favours stability and specialization which could hamper innovation, its simultaneous focus on productivity encourages innovation to achieve cost reductions, enhanced processes, and implementation of new technology. However, the uniformity of ore and the position of miners in the value chain is not favorable to product innovation and the focus tends to be on —mainly supplier-led— process innovation. The review also shows the potential benefits of non-technological innovations, including marketing and organizational changes although these are infrequent. The study concludes by addressing conceptualizations of innovation and mining management and highlighting gaps in research that focuses on regions, minerals, and innovation types. It also discusses the knowledge management implications in this context.

随着全球对矿产和金属的需求激增，采矿业面临着资源有限、社会抵制和环境因素的三重挑战。为了应对这些挑战，采矿业正在依靠创新和技术进步来开采迄今为止无法开采的矿藏，最大限度地减少能源消耗，并提高可持续性。本研究系统回顾了有关采矿业创新的文献，以及为应对上述挑战而采取的独特管理方法。从最初的 4059 篇科学文章中，通过可复制的程序筛选出了 222 篇 1996 年至 2023 年间发表的文献。分析表明，有关采矿业创新的文献主要是定性和探索性的，目前正朝着使用先进的定量方法进行实证验证的方向转变。采矿业的创新似乎受到该行业固有特征的影响，如保守的文化、市场波动性、对生产率和盈利能力的重视。虽然该行业在某种程度上规避风险的方法偏向于稳定和专业化，这可能会阻碍创新，但它同时对生产率的重视鼓励创新，以实现降低成本、改进流程和实施新技术。然而，矿石的统一性和矿工在价值链中的地位不利于产品创新，重点往往放在--主要是供应商主导的--流程创新上。审查还显示了非技术创新的潜在益处，包括营销和组织变革，尽管这些变革并不常见。本研究最后探讨了创新和矿业管理的概念，并强调了以地区、矿产和创新类型为重点的研究中存在的差距。研究还讨论了知识管理在这方面的影响。

Environmental sustainability is fundamental in ensuring the needs of current generation are not met through exhausting the resources available to meet the needs of the future generations. Nature provides key resources required as factors of production in the production of goods and services. Therefore, it is important to maintain and protect the environment, ensuring that these resources do not deplete. This study investigates the role of technological innovations, trade openness, economic growth and natural resource rents in maintaining environmental sustainability. The data of the top ten natural resource-rich African countries are used for the time ranging from 1996 to 2023. The main novelty of the research is that it considers countries with abundance natural resources in ascertaining the influence of natural resources on environmental sustainability; hence, ascertaining the existence of resource curse in developing nations with abundance natural resources. Data is analysed with the Methods of Moments Quantile Regression that present robust results when heterogeneity and cross-sectional dependency are present. We present that technological innovations, trade openness, renewable energy and governance promote environmental sustainability in these resource-rich nations of Africa. Technological innovations fosters environmental sustainability in the long and short term. We also present that economic growth and natural resource rents worsen the quality of the environment, through raising the emission of carbon. Specifically, natural resource rents significantly raises the emission of carbon in the long term. Policies proposed advocates for the advancement in the rule of law of nations and the promotion of technological innovations.

环境的可持续发展是确保当代人的需求不会因耗尽资源而无法满足后代人需求的根本。大自然提供了生产商品和服务所需的关键资源。因此，必须维护和保护环境，确保这些资源不会枯竭。本研究探讨了技术创新、贸易开放度、经济增长和自然资源租金在维持环境可持续性方面的作用。研究使用了 1996 年至 2023 年期间非洲十大自然资源丰富国家的数据。这项研究的主要创新之处在于，它考虑了自然资源丰富的国家，以确定自然资源对环境可持续性的影响；从而确定自然资源丰富的发展中国家是否存在资源诅咒。数据采用矩量回归法进行分析，在存在异质性和横截面依赖性的情况下，结果稳健。我们发现，技术创新、贸易开放、可再生能源和治理促进了非洲这些资源丰富国家的环境可持续性。从长期和短期来看，技术创新都能促进环境的可持续发展。我们还发现，经济增长和自然资源租金会通过增加碳排放来恶化环境质量。具体而言，自然资源租金在长期内会显著增加碳排放量。我们提出的政策主张推进国家法治，促进技术创新。

This paper employs a novel R² decomposed connectedness approach to examine the contemporaneous and lagged spillover effects between critical raw materials and high-tech markets in China. It also applies the GJR-GARCH-MIDAS model to assess the influence of trade policy uncertainty on these spillovers. The findings reveal significant return and volatility spillover effects between critical raw materials and high-tech markets in China. Specifically, the contemporaneous spillover effect of returns is markedly stronger than the lagged return connectedness, especially for polysilicon and graphite. Conversely, in terms of volatility, the lagged spillover effect is more pronounced, particularly in the aerospace and new materials sectors. The connectedness network indicates that critical raw materials are primarily spillover sources, while high-tech markets are the main recipients. The dynamic connectedness results show that the spillover effects are time-variant and became notably intensified during the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war. Furthermore, trade policy uncertainty exerts a significant and asymmetric impact on these spillovers, affecting contemporaneous return spillovers and lagged volatility spillovers differently, highlighting the diverse influence of policy uncertainty on cross-market relationships over time. These findings offer critical insights for enhancing supply chain stability and fostering the sustainable development of high-tech industries.

本文采用一种新颖的 R2 分解关联度方法来研究中国关键原材料和高科技市场之间的同期和滞后溢出效应。本文还运用 GJR-GARCH-MIDAS 模型评估了贸易政策不确定性对这些溢出效应的影响。研究结果表明，中国关键原材料市场和高科技市场之间存在明显的收益和波动溢出效应。具体而言，收益的同期溢出效应明显强于收益的滞后关联性，尤其是多晶硅和石墨。相反，在波动性方面，滞后溢出效应更为明显，尤其是在航空航天和新材料行业。连通性网络表明，关键原材料是溢出效应的主要来源，而高科技市场则是溢出效应的主要接受者。动态连通性结果表明，溢出效应是时变的，在 COVID-19 大流行和俄罗斯-乌克兰战争期间明显增强。此外，贸易政策的不确定性对这些溢出效应产生了显著的非对称影响，对同期回报溢出效应和滞后波动溢出效应的影响各不相同，凸显了政策不确定性对跨市场关系随时间变化的不同影响。这些发现为增强供应链稳定性和促进高科技产业的可持续发展提供了重要启示。

Resource-rich regions can fall prey to the resource curse, leading to a decline in carbon emissions efficiency (CEE). But amid this challenge, building digital infrastructure offers an opportunity to find solutions that will pave the way for sustainable development. An indicator evaluation system was constructed to measure the level of digital infrastructure (DI) using panel data for 275 Chinese cities from 2010 to 2020. The impact of DI on CEE is validated using several econometric models. As an innovation, the time lag effect and spatial spillover effects are considered in the analysis. The study found that DI significantly improves CEE, and this effect is more effective in central and resource-based cities, but only significant in southern cities, cities with high levels of marketization, and cities with high levels of human capital. Reducing the resource curse and increasing green technological innovation are important transmission pathways, which are considered to be the key role of DI. Further, the third period of lagged DI has the most significant effect, and there is a positive spatial spillover effect of DI on the CEE of neighboring cities, which is most prominent around 600 km. Policymakers are advised to improve the level of construction of DI, focus on digital management, and utilize the role of DI at the optimal time and distance.

资源丰富的地区可能会受到资源诅咒的影响，导致碳排放效率（CEE）下降。但在这一挑战中，建设数字基础设施为寻找解决方案提供了机会，从而为可持续发展铺平道路。我们利用 2010 年至 2020 年中国 275 个城市的面板数据，构建了数字基础设施（DI）水平的指标评价体系。利用多个计量经济学模型验证了数字基础设施对中国经济的影响。作为一项创新，分析中考虑了时滞效应和空间溢出效应。研究发现，直接投资明显改善了城市经济效益，这种效应在中心城市和资源型城市更为有效，但只在南方城市、市场化程度高的城市和人力资本水平高的城市显著。减少资源诅咒和增加绿色技术创新是重要的传导途径，被认为是 DI 的关键作用所在。此外，第三期滞后直接投资的影响最为显著，而且直接投资对周边城市的中欧和东欧存在积极的空间溢出效应，这种效应在 600 公里左右最为突出。建议决策者提高直接投资建设水平，注重数字化管理，在最佳时间和距离上发挥直接投资的作用。

Despite women and gender issues being at the forefront of artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) research, a narrative review showcasing the current state of the burgeoning literature that has sought to contribute to the understanding of women and gender issues and its implication for the broader low-tech mining space is lacking. Analysis of multiple databases including SCOPUS, Google Scholar, and Web of Science from January 1996 to January 2024 enabled us to identify and label ten (10) perspectives which emerged from a review of the literature: (1) women's direct and indirect participation in ASM, (2) gendered organisational structure and occupational segregation, 3) ownership, management and leadership in ASM spaces, (4) women, ASM formalisation and the policy landscape, (5) ASM work environment and women's working conditions, (6) occupational health and safety issues, (7) sexual harassment and gender-based violence, (8) women's economic empowerment and sustainable livelihoods through ASM, (9) women and migration into ASM spaces, and (10) key theories and concepts used in the women-gender-ASM literature. Adopting a problematising approach, our review revealed various conceptual, theoretical and empirical absences across the domains that constitute future research opportunities. Overall, our study brings together the growing but fragmented body of research on women and gender issues in ASM, traces the historical overview of the emerging field, and outlines important avenues for research, policy and practice to improve women's socio-economic outcomes in the sector.

尽管妇女和性别问题是手工和小规模采矿（ASM）研究的前沿问题，但目前还缺乏一篇叙事性综述，来展示那些试图促进人们了解妇女和性别问题及其对更广泛的低技术采矿领域的影响的新兴文献的现状。通过对 1996 年 1 月至 2024 年 1 月期间的多个数据库（包括 SCOPUS、Google Scholar 和 Web of Science）进行分析，我们确定并标注了文献综述中出现的十（10）个观点：(1) 妇女直接和间接参与个体和小型金矿业，(2) 性别化组织结构和职业隔离，(3) 个体和小型金矿业空间的所有权、管理权和领导权，(4) 妇女、个体和小型金矿业正规化和政策环境，(5) 个体和小型金矿业工作环境和妇女的工作条件、(6) 职业健康和安全问题，(7) 性骚扰和基于性别的暴力，(8) 通过个体和小规模手工作坊赋予妇女经济权力和可持续生计，(9) 妇女和向个体和小规模手工作坊的移民，以及 (10) 妇女-性别-个体和小规模手工作坊文献中使用的主要理论和概念。通过采用问题分析方法，我们的审查揭示了各个领域在概念、理论和经验方面的缺失，这些缺失构成了未来的研究机会。总之，我们的研究汇集了关于个体和小型金矿业中妇女和性别问题的不断增长但却支离破碎的研究成果，追溯了这一新兴领域的历史概况，并概述了研究、政策和实践的重要途径，以改善该部门中妇女的社会经济成果。

The rapid growth of the ecological footprint within the European Union (EU) has indicated a strong need for new and innovative approaches to sustainably managing natural resources. To this end, this study delves into how to harness the power of financial technology (FinTech) by infusing the principles of circular economy and technological innovation to address the growing ecological footprint. This study aims to explore the intricate interplay of natural resources, circular economy, and technological innovation on the effect of ecological footprint, particularly focusing on FinTech as a moderator in these relationships. The common correlated effects mean group (CCGMG) estimator addresses panel data's heterogeneity and cross-sectional dependence, which is essential for understanding the complex nature of ecological footprint issues. The evidence from 27 EU countries spanning 2013 to 2021 suggests that while more natural resources are used, the ecological footprint will increase, but improving circular economy practices and technological innovation will massively reduce this increase. Specifically, a 1% increase in natural resources leads to a corresponding 0.079% rise in ecological footprint, while a 1% increase in the circular economy and technological innovation reduces ecological footprint by 0.328% and 0.326%, respectively. Furthermore, FinTech stands out as a pivotal moderating force in amplifying the positive effects of circular economy and technological innovation towards ecological sustainability. Notably, it cushions the negative impacts of natural resource use and reinforces the power of sustainable practices on the footprint-reducing effect. From that angle, several targeted policy recommendations are proposed to harness FinTech's capabilities of resources and waste management, optimizing financial capital allocation, and enhancing financing efficiency. The study provides valuable insights and practical recommendations for promoting green initiatives within the EU and globally, aligning with the overall objectives of environmental sustainability and economic resilience.

欧洲联盟（欧盟）内生态足迹的快速增长表明，亟需新的创新方法来可持续地管理自然资源。为此，本研究深入探讨了如何通过注入循环经济和技术创新原则来利用金融科技（FinTech）的力量，以应对日益增长的生态足迹。本研究旨在探讨自然资源、循环经济和技术创新之间错综复杂的相互作用对生态足迹的影响，尤其关注金融科技在这些关系中的调节作用。共同相关效应均值组（CCGMG）估计器解决了面板数据的异质性和横截面依赖性问题，这对于理解生态足迹问题的复杂性至关重要。2013 年至 2021 年期间 27 个欧盟国家的证据表明，在使用更多自然资源的同时，生态足迹也会增加，但改进循环经济实践和技术创新将大幅减少生态足迹的增加。具体而言，自然资源每增加 1%，生态足迹就会相应增加 0.079%，而循环经济和技术创新每增加 1%，生态足迹就会分别减少 0.328% 和 0.326%。此外，金融科技在放大循环经济和技术创新对生态可持续发展的积极影响方面发挥了关键的调节作用。值得注意的是，金融科技缓解了自然资源使用的负面影响，并加强了可持续实践对减少足迹的作用。从这个角度出发，研究提出了若干有针对性的政策建议，以利用金融科技的资源和废物管理能力，优化金融资本配置，提高融资效率。这项研究为在欧盟和全球范围内推广绿色倡议提供了宝贵的见解和实用建议，符合环境可持续性和经济恢复力的总体目标。
