Abstract: This paper,based on Inner Mongolia’s coal development and economy,verifies their relation by applying the “resource curse” hypothesis with the indexes of coal abundance,capital input,human capital input and scientific innovation from 1991 to 2010.The result doesn’t show an outstanding relation and there is no “resource curse”,but a fast GDP growth does not bring a same fast rise in residents’ income and living level,indicating weak sustainability in its economy.“Resource curse” needs to be prevented in the future.

Key words: coal resource, economic growth, resource curse, Inner Mongolia

摘要： 基于内蒙古煤炭资源开发及经济发展现状,对内蒙古煤炭资源开发与经济增长关系进行初步检验,并应用“资源诅咒”理论假说,选取1991—2010年煤炭资源丰裕度、物质资本投资、人力资本投入、科技创新等指标,对煤炭资源开发与经济增长的相关性进行检验和分析。结果表明,内蒙古的煤炭资源开发与经济增长相关性不显著,尚没有出现“资源诅咒”效应,但GDP的高速增长并没有带来相同幅度的居民收入水平及消费水平的提高,经济可持续发展能力不强,因此未来依然需要预防“资源诅咒”问题的出现。
