摘　　要：A resource-based economy is an economic system driven by the exploitation of mineral resources and dominated by the energy, mineral and other resource sectors. In resource- rich areas, there is often an investment bias toward the resource sector because of the existence of a threshold for investment in human capital in the manufacturing sector. Once the resource sector is dominant, it has a particular atwaction effect on the economic factors; its expansion and spread have a viscosity effect on industry families;, and the sunk costs and path dependence that emerge as industrialization evolves have a lock-in effect on the role of resources. This may give rise to development path dependence and the trap of resource advantage, resulting in a self-strengthening mechanism in resource-based economies. The key to escaping this trap is to break down the resource sector＇s original self-perpetuating mechanism and path dependence, introduce learning and innovation, adjust mechanisms far the distribution of resource benefits and realize industry coordination and transformational economic development.资源型经济是以矿产资源开发为动力，以能源、矿产等资源部门为主导的经济体系。在资源丰裕区域，由于制造业部门人力资本投资门槛的存在，容易导致对资源部门的投资偏好。一旦资源部门成为主导部门，便会形成资源部门对经济要素特殊的吸纳效应、资源部门的扩张与延伸使产业家族形成粘滞效应、工业化演进过程中的沉淀成本与路径依赖形成对资源功能的锁定效应，产生发展的路径依赖，陷入资源优势陷阱，从而导致资源型经济的自强机制。突破资源优势陷阱的关键在于打破原有的资源自循环机制和路径依赖，引入学习与创新活动，调整资源收益分配机制，实现产业协调和经济转型发展。
