Abstract: “Resource curse” phenomenon emerged as the greatest challenge for the social sustainable development in China's new normal stage. The paper looked into the changes of generalized regional “resource curse” with observations of data from 1998 to 2013 years by using a spatial dynamic panel data model; and the paper further explored the key factors and mechanism of generalized regional “resource curse” with Chinese northeast region as an example. The results showed: when considering the losses of resources using and environment pollution in social development, generalized “resource curse” did not exist in national level, but appeared in some regions such as Yellow River center region, northeast region and northwest region; and more complicated in Yangtze River center region and southwest region due to their specific conditions. Several important variables including resources and environment regulation policy, economy policy, regional location might be important factors. Regional location had a more significant impact on regional development, but if from a longer time latitude, increasingly stricter resources and environment regulation policy could make generalized regional “resource curse” less happen, but the impacts by regional location might be even more important.
