Abstract

Economic development depends upon natural resource abundance and triggers the wheel of economic growth. To straight out the resource curse hypothesis, this research work is organized to reveal the impact of natural resources on economic growth using data from the years 1990–2022. The computed estimates unfolded that there is a resource curse in the context of the Chinese economy. Hence, the worthy administration needs to devise policies to cater efficient utilization of natural resources for the sake of economic prosperity.
