This study investigates the natural resource rent and financial development nexus by subsuming the critical role of institutional quality in this paradigm in a sample of 87 Emerging and Developing Economies (EMDEs), during the period from 1984 to 2018. The findings demonstrate that natural resources rent undermines finance and supports the natural resource curse hypothesis in the financial sector of EMDEs. The institutional quality has a significant positive impact on finance and it positively moderates the resource-finance nexus. We argue that institutional quality follows some channels through which the natural resource curse operates and turns the resource curse into a blessing for the financial sector. Furthermore, the results document a threshold effect of institutional quality in the resource-finance relationship. Precisely, we find that natural resources rent positively explains finance, once a certain threshold level of institutional quality is attained – below which the natural resources rent becomes a curse, and hinders financial development. Therefore, policy attentions are recommended to promote finance by efficient utilization of natural resources through promoting and maintaining institutional quality beyond a certain threshold level, and incorporating its vital role. Our results are robust to the use of different samples, alternative specifications, and alternative measures of finance and institutional quality, and are practically useful to the policymakers concerned about EMDEs.

自然资源与金融发展:制度质量的作用

这项研究通过在1984年至2018年期间的87个新兴经济体(EMDE)样本中纳入制度质量在这种范式中的关键作用,调查了自然资源租金与金融发展之间的联系。研究结果表明,自然资源租金破坏了金融并支持了新兴市场经济体金融部门的自然资源诅咒假设。制度质量对金融产生了显着的积极影响,并积极地缓解了资源-金融关系。我们认为,制度质量遵循自然资源诅咒运作的某些渠道,并使资源诅咒成为金融部门的福祉。此外,结果证明了机构质量在资源-财务关系中的门槛效应。恰恰,我们发现,一旦达到一定的机构质量门槛水平,自然资源租金就可以积极地解释金融问题;低于该阈值水平,自然资源租金将成为诅咒,并阻碍金融发展。因此,建议注意政策,通过有效利用自然资源,通过促进和维持超过一定阈值水平的机构质量,并纳入其至关重要的作用,来促进融资。我们的结果对于使用不同的样本,替代的规格以及替代性的财务和机构质量度量是可靠的,并且对于关注EMDE的决策者实际上是有用的。并阻碍金融发展。因此,建议注意政策,通过有效利用自然资源,通过促进和维持超过一定阈值水平的机构质量,并纳入其至关重要的作用,来促进融资。我们的结果对于使用不同的样本,替代的规格以及替代性的财务和机构质量度量是可靠的,并且对于关注EMDE的决策者实际上是有用的。并阻碍金融发展。因此,建议注意政策,通过有效利用自然资源,通过促进和维持超过一定阈值水平的机构质量,并纳入其至关重要的作用,来促进融资。我们的结果对于使用不同的样本,替代的规格以及替代性的财务和机构质量度量是可靠的,并且对于关注EMDE的决策者实际上是有用的。
