Economic Grouth's Resources and Environment Dependence between Developed Countries and China

Because the mainstream economic growth theory studies growth issues from the standpoint of the country, so it is a kind of competition advantage theory and hasn't considered the deterministic factors for growth such as resource and environment. Bringing these factors into growth equation, then we estimate the contribution rate of resource and environment factors to OECD and China and their difference with Panel Data and time series methods. The paper finds that although the degree of dependence on resource and environment factors of OECD is lower than that of China, it's still above 40% and roughly equal to the technology contribution rate. The contribution rate could be higher if we consider the effect of polluting industries being transferred to the outside. The true conclusion might be that technology drives growth in developed countries and the resources and environment drive growth in developing countries, such as China, but those growth types are all based significantly on consumption of resources and environment.
