“资源诅咒”论:一个颇具争议的命题

"Resources Curse":A Controversial Proposition

学界有人认为,丰富的资源趋于阻碍而非促进经济发展。事实果真如此吗?经过考察,无论是在国家层面,还是在国内省级层面,这一理论都存在着严重的缺陷。因为资源(或资源性产品)丰裕度与经济增长之间并不是数学上的一一对应关系,恰恰相反,影响经济增长的因素是非常多的,这是其一。其二,越来越的事实证明,中国经济呈现出沿海发达地区、沿边次发达地区和内陆型欠发达地区三个层次。这也就是说,一个地区是否拥有丰富的港口、海洋、海洋运输和边境资源等,越来越成为经济发展的关键因素。

In academic community, it＇ s taken that abundant resources tend to hinder the economic development, not to promote. Is that true？ Through investigation, it is proved that this there is serious defect in this theory, either from the aspect of a country, or a province. The reason is that the relationship between resources abundance and economic growth is not of one - to - one correspondence mathematically; on the contrary, there are quite many factors influencing economic growth. Furthermore, more and more facts have proved that Chinese economy presents three levels in d/fferent areas, namely, coastal developed area, coastal middle- developed area and inland underdeveloped area. This means, the poccession of abundant resources of ports, ocean, sea transportation or border is becoming the key factor of economic development for a region.
