“资源诅咒”悖论之辩

Debates on “Resource Curse” Paradox

"资源诅咒"悖论自提出以来引起了经济学家和政治学家们的广泛兴趣,产生了大量研究文献,得到世界银行等国际组织的广泛承认,但是也遭受着巨大的争议。本文全面回顾了"资源诅咒"悖论提出的历史背景,界定了"资源诅咒"悖论的本质内涵和外延,介绍了"资源诅咒"悖论拥护方和反对方的主要观点,评述了现有研究的不足以及未来研究的方向。本文认为,单纯质疑"资源诅咒"在我国的存在性固然有其学术上的必要性,但是资源型区域经济发展中遇到的可持续增长乏力和生态环境恶化等典型问题是客观存在的。因此,学者们不应该仅仅满足于学术的争论,更不应该对立起来,而应该深入研究我国资源型经济体存在的问题,为实现其可持续发展贡献自己的力量。
