摘要：
Natural resources play a vital role in economic and social development, but irresponsible usage leads to environmental degradation and resource depletion. This study examines the impact of environmental degradation on institutional quality, natural resources, and economic openness in Belt and Road countries from 1990 to 2021. It introduces novel interaction terms between institutional quality and both natural resources and economic openness. Using the System-Generalized Method of Moments to address endogeneity and unobserved heterogeneity, results show that while natural resources and economic openness increase CO2 emissions, their interaction with institutional quality improves environmental quality. The study recommends boosting research and development for green technologies, promoting clean industrial practices, and tailoring policies to institutional quality levels for better environmental outcomes.
