EasyChair Preprint no. 12899

Abstract

Natural resource wealth has long been regarded as a cornerstone of economic development, particularly in countries endowed with abundant reserves. In China, provincial governments harness their natural resource endowments to fuel investment initiatives and drive local economic growth. This research paper endeavors to unveil the intricate role played by natural resources in financing provincial investments across China. By analyzing extensive provincial-level data, including economic indicators, resource extraction figures, and investment patterns, the study aims to provide empirical evidence of how natural resource wealth influences investment decisions and shapes regional development agendas. Through rigorous quantitative analysis and case studies, this paper seeks to elucidate the mechanisms through which natural resources facilitate financing for provincial investments, offering insights into optimizing resource utilization for sustainable economic development.
