Traditional opinion considers that natural resource always contributes to economy development. However, resource curse theory poses that natural resource usually obstructs economy increase; on the contrary, those districts in short of natural resource develop quickly. Since Auty put forward the "Resource Curse" theory, the paradox relationship between resource endowment and economic growth has always been one of hot issues concerned by researchers with different backgrounds. In recent years, domestic researchers have begun to pay attention to the resource curse phenomenon in China. This article is a summarization to the domestic research from 3 aspects: first, the empirical analysis about the existence of resource curse in China; second, the transmission mechanism of resource curse including 2 aspects of single mechanism and composite mechanism; third, the resolution of resource curse. What′s more, this article summarizes the characteristic of the research by Chinese researchers, points out that the research on resource curse in China is still not systematized and there are still some problem need to discuss: the data standard is not unified and the research on transmission mechanism needs to go deeper. On one hand, fixed assets and income of extractive industries are both connected to the GDP and will influence the accuracy of the result, on the other hand, methods chosen to analyze conduction mechanism are not suitable for domestic research. At last, the article figures out that those geographers have unique advantage on the research of resource curse phenomenon. Researchers can switch resource curse proposition to a human geography proposition by analyzing from man-land standpoint and consider economical and non-economical influence of resource. Researchers, especially geographers should devote to studying and researching it from a regional perspective and put forward some practical and effective measures to resolve the resource curse phenomenon in China.
Key words: resource curse; economic development; conduction mechanism
