新疆自然资源禀赋与经济发展

大量研究显示，一些国家的自然资源禀赋与经济增长之间存在显著的负相关关系，存在所谓的“资源诅咒”效应。但由于新疆资源开发的主导力量是国家投入，加上其资源输出成本较高；因而不论从全国地区间的比较，还是从个体情况的考察来看，新疆的资源优势是其经济增长的有利条件，并没有陷入“资源诅咒”陷阱。可见，不将资源输出作为自然资源禀赋较好地区发展经济的必选项、以经济多样化减少对资源部门的依赖、降低资源开发部门对其他行业的挤出效应以及加强制度建设和改善投资环境等，是避免“资源诅咒”的有效措施。

Natural resource endowment and economic development of Xinjiang Province

Many researches reveal that there is a significantly negative relationship between the natural resources endowment and the economic growth in some countries, which is so-called resources curse effect. Because the leading capacity of Xinjiang resources exploitation is from national investment and because the cost for resources export is higher, however, Resources endowment is Xingjiang＇s advantage for its economic growth and is not trapped in the so-called resources curse effect. The effective measure for avoiding resources curse effect is not to regard resources export as economic growth engine in the areas with better natural resources endowment, but to reduce the dependence on resources sectors by economic diversification, and to decrease the squeezing-out effect of resources exploitation sectors on other industries, and to consolidate institutional construction, and to improve investment environment and so on.
