A vast body of literature examining the natural resource curse hypothesis (NCRH), the studies, by summing all types of natural resources, uses a single measure for the natural resource. To fill this gap, the study aims at testing the NRCH hypothesis by using the ARDL method and use the data distinguishing five different types of natural resources (coal, forests, minerals, natural gas, and oil) and covering the period from 1990 to 2017 for ten countries with different level of economic development, being measured by Human Development Index. The study finds mixed results. Firstly, the study finds very little evidence favoring adverse growth effects across each type of commodity. The results show no positive or negative impacts of natural resources on economic growth for developed economies (countries with high HDI scores). For countries with moderate and low HDI scores, we found mixed results. In particular, we find some evidence supporting NRCH for point-source resources for these two group countries (moderate and poor).

大量研究自然资源诅咒假说（NCRH）的文献通过汇总所有类型的自然资源，对自然资源使用了一种度量。为了填补这一空白，该研究旨在通过ARDL方法检验NRCH假设，并使用区分五种不同自然资源（煤炭，森林，矿产，天然气和石油）的数据，涵盖1990年至2017年的时间段以人类发展指数衡量的十个经济发展水平不同的国家。研究发现结果不一。首先，该研究发现很少有证据支持每种商品的不利增长影响。结果表明，发达经济体（HDI得分高的国家）自然资源对经济增长没有正面或负面影响。对于HDI得分较低的国家，我们得出的结果好坏参半。特别是，我们发现一些证据支持NRCH用于这两个国家（中度和贫困）的点源资源。
