Abstract

In this extensive study, we investigate the complex interplay between the resource curse and sustainable development in rural areas across G7 economies from 2000 to 2021. Our findings reveal that even a slight uptick in the Resource Curse Vulnerability Index (RCVI) triggers a notable 0.36 % decline in the Rural Sustainable Development Index. These results align with prior research, emphasizing the detrimental impact of the resource curse. Moreover, a 1 % increase in the rural population correlates with a significant 0.17 % reduction in the Rural Sustainable Development Index, shedding light on challenges associated with population growth. The study identifies positive drivers for sustainable development, including increased internet use, expanded electricity access, and effective land management. Proposed policy measures advocate for diversifying rural economies, ensuring equitable access to essential services, and implementing environmental conservation initiatives to tackle resource curse challenges and promote rural sustainability.
