研究成果概要

Each group of economies - having and not having energy resources – has its pattern of institutional parameters (the rule of law, governance efficiency, etc.). Resource-rich economies tend to underperform in terms of the quality of institutions as they create regulations centred on the extraction of rent. The study proved that energy resources can be an additional supportive factor for economic dynamism provided the global commodity markets and external environment are favourable. Yet, a direct relationship between the quality of domestic institutional factors and the sustainability of economic growth and development is confirmed. An important finding is that since energy specialisation determines an export-oriented pattern of a national economy, it is not only the domestic institutional environment that matters, but the compatibility of institutional environments of the partners. Provisions for energy trade and investment are being increasingly incorporated within the supranational and regional institutional settings, like energy unions or common energy markets. The economies with monopolised national energy systems, restrictions in trade and prohibitive regulatory arrangements for investment face growing barriers in reaching out to their traditional customers. Such reality is likely to influence the deregulation course in energy exporting economies.
