Abstract

This paper's primary purpose is to measure globalization's impacts on fossil fuel resource-efficient targets in 39 emerging countries from 2010 to 2020. The pooled Mean Group estimation's results confirmed that the digitalization indicators such as the digital economy index, e-government, and ICT (Information and communication technology) diffusion index increase the efficiency of fossil fuels resources in the short and long term. In addition, with a 1% increase in the share of ICT industries in the studied countries' economies, fossil fuel resources' efficiency will decrease by 0.07% and 0.13% in the short and long term, respectively. Regarding electricity consumption, the coefficients of the variable in the short-term and long-term are negative. In order to use digitalization benefits for fossil fuels efficient target, emerging economies can develop a digital green financing market, promote natural resource governance through e-government, and scale up renewable power generation.
