摘要： 将资源市场的扭曲引入“资源诅咒”假说，以“中国式分权”及其引致的晋升激励为视角，就“资源充裕如何导致资源依赖”这一命题进行讨论，并基于2009-2016年中国省级面板数据加以实证检验。研究表明：资源市场的扭曲水平调节着资源充裕和资源依赖之间的关系，是引致资源依赖的重要条件；“锦标赛”形式为主的晋升制度安排及经济绩效为主的晋升考核标准是催生地方政府扭曲资源市场的重要动机；资源充裕地区，扭曲的资源市场有助于拉动短期经济增长、实现官员政绩，但长期内将阻碍增长，产生“诅咒”效应。因此，政府治理中激励设计的扭曲是中国的“资源诅咒”问题的根本原因。

Abstract: This paper introduces the distortion of resource market into the “resource curse” hypothesis, discusses the proposition of “how resource abundance leads to resource dependence” from the perspective of “Chinese decentralization” and its promotion incentive, and empirically tests it based on the 2009-2016 provincial panel data of China.The results show that: the distorted level of resource market regulates the relationship between resource abundance and resource dependence, which is an important condition for resource dependence; the promotion system arrangement in the form of championship and the promotion assessment standard in the form of economic performance are important motives for local governments to distort resource market; the distorted resource market in the areas with abundant resources helps to stimulate the short-term economic growth and officials′ political achievements will hinder growth in the long run and produce a “Curse” effect. Therefore, the distortion of incentive design in government governance is the root cause of China′s “resource curse”.
