Abstract:

This paper using empirical data attempted to prove the existence of path dependence in resourcebased cities, and then analyzed the mechanism of path dependence and its influence on regional economic transformation. Analysis showed that the pathdependent effects erode endogenous motivation of industrial structure through technical and institutional “double lock” during the rapid economic growth period. Labor quality and lowlevel of human capital, the lag development of alternative industry, all those factors lead to serious structural unemployment in resourceexhausted period. The optional way of transformation is to prompt market entry in consideration of regional driving factors, to break the path dependence, and to drive to change comparative advantage from resource endowment to other endowment. Comparing with the inefficient research investment, human capital play more important role in city transformation. Serious external problems and pathdependent effect make government management more important to industry development in resourceexhausted cities.
