“…Meanwhile, energy as a natural resource is usually included as an input factor in the production function. For example, most studies consider the capital, labor and energy factor inputs in the Cobb–Douglas production function (Moroney, 1992; Dieck -Assad and Peralta, 2013). The elasticity of substitution production function (CES) is also more common.…”

PurposeWith increasing marine resource development, the rapid development of the marine economy, and the continuous decline of the marine natural resource system, the contradiction between marine resources and economic development is becoming increasingly acute. The study of marine resources and economic development has become a hot and challenging issue in marine resource economics research in recent years. The purpose of this study is to analyze the current situation of marine resources and to realize the sustainable use of marine resources.Design/methodology/approachThis study systematically reviews and analyzes the current status of research on marine resources and economic development issues in four main aspects: marine resource management, marine resources and economic growth, marine resources and economic security, and marine resource accounting in the field of marine resource economics.FindingsIt is found that compared to the current status of research on land-based resources and economic development, there is a significant lag in both theoretical construction and methodological innovation in marine resources and economic development.Originality/valueThe purpose of this study is to systematically grasp the current status of marine resources research, promote the coordinated development of marine resources and economic growth, and then realize the safe and sustainable development and utilization of marine resources.

“…Some studies consider energy as an additional productive factor, without analyzing the relationship with the other productive factors. Additionally, some studies, such as those by Moroney ( 1992 ), Sharma ( 2010 ), Dieck-Assad and Peralta ( 2013 ), Fang and Chang ( 2016 ), and Fang and Chen ( 2017 ), find that energy has a positive impact on production. Other studies also consider the relationships between energy and other productive factors.…”

This article aims to empirically analyze the direct and the indirect effects of human capital on energy consumption in Algeria, as well as to test the possible presence of the energy-environmental Kuznets curve (E-EKC) hypothesis, over the period 1970–2017, using cointegrating polynomial regressions (CPR) with break points, and a simultaneous equations model. The obtained results indicate that human capital directly reduces energy demand, and indirectly increases it through income and physical capital stock channels. However, the direct effect is higher than that of the indirect effect. Additionally, CPR results confirm a monotonic increasing relationship between energy use and real GDP per capita; therefore, there is no evidence of the E-EKC hypothesis. This means that increasing economic growth leads to a rise in energy consumption and, in turn, to an intensification of CO2 emissions. The results also indicate that physical capital stock per capita, urban population ratio, and real GDP per capita are positively linked to energy use per capita. In that context, it may be appropriate to adapt the energy system to the growing demand, promoting greater use of renewable energies, if emissions growth is to be contained. Investment in education and improving the quality of human capital is a good way for Algeria to reduce energy consumption and protect the environment, without negatively impacting economic growth.

“…When building economic accounting models, researchers mainly draw on the example of developed Western countries that have already achieved industrialization, despite the fact that their economic growth patterns are different from those of developing countries. As the research object expands, the traditional accounting model will struggle to sufficiently elaborate countries and regions that are developing towards industrialization, which is why many researchers incorporate energy factors into their research [10][11][12][13][14]. It has been claimed that China entered the late stage of industrialization during the "12th Five-Year Plan" period [15].…”

The paper constructs an economic growth model that contains human, physical capital, innovation, and energy factors and estimates the output elasticity of seven provinces and cities in East China in the period of 2004–2018. Having calculated the contribution rate of these different factors to economic growth, the paper finds that factors of production have a different elasticity that impacts the growth of different regions and industries and notes that energy and physical capital are the most significant factors for the growth of primary and secondary industries. This highlights that industrial growth has not freed from the path dependence of extensive input, and the authors cite Shanghai and Jiangsu as typical regions in this regard. The former’s growth largely depends on physical capital and energy, and the latter’s growth depends on the input of diverse elements including innovation. The latter is better suited to the needs of the “new normal” economic growth. The authors construct a simulation model of economic growth based on system dynamics, and system simulation results show that energy and material capital investment not only have the most significant effect on economic growth in East China but also provide clear evidence of extensive economic growth. The paper then demonstrates that increasing the optimal allocation of input factors and the rational flow between regions is conducive to improving output efficiency and provides the results of the Malmquist index calculation: on the whole, there is no obvious technological progress in East China. Shanghai, Jiangsu, and Zhejiang are, however, provincial-level regions of this part of the country which demonstrate significant technological progress in East China. In conclusion, the paper suggests that this region of China will be unable to maintain its current level of economic growth because of the combined influence of factor input constraints and insufficient technological progress.
