本文通过使用1992—2011年中部六省的面板数据对中部地区的资源开发、制度约束与经济增长之间的相关性进行分析,实证结果表明:中部地区的经济增长与自然资源禀赋之间存在较为显著的负相关性,“资源诅咒”的现象普遍存在。同时,我们还发现自然资源的垄断会导致权力寻租,最终削弱制度在中部地区经济增长的作用。 This paper analyzes the correlation between resource development, institutional constraints and economic growth in the central region by using the panel data of six provinces in the central region from 1992 to 2011. Empirical results show that there is a strong correlation between economic growth and natural resource endowment in the central region Significant negative correlation, “resource curse ” phenomenon is widespread. At the same time, we also find that the monopoly of natural resources leads to the rent-seeking of power and ultimately weakens the system’s role in economic growth in the central region.
