The Definition and Identification of Natural Resources Industries

Abstract:

Natural resources industries are important for human. However, they are neither received enough attention nor there is consistent definition on them in theory and empirical studies. This paper tries to give a specific definition on natural resource industries. In order to define natural resource products as those production activities of resource specific products, it first confines the scope of natural resources, then it gives a specific definition on resource specific products, and then on natural resource industries. In the last part of this paper, it identifies resource specific products and resource industries from the perspective of statistics.
