在创新和发展文献中，自然资源（NR）通常被视为发展中国家和NR产业的诅咒，因为它们几乎没有创新和推动长期增长的潜力。这使得政策和发展专家选择了促使专业化模式向其他部门转移的战略。本文提出了一种不同的方法。通过探索阿根廷农业部门和智利采矿业的最新证据，它指出了自然资源产业作为发展知识密集型产业的平台提供的机会之窗，以支持资源禀赋国家的经济发展。从这些发现中吸取的教训表明，发展战略也可以促进更具创新性的知识密集型天然气产业，而不是远离它们。
In the innovation and development literature, natural resources (NR) are generally viewed as a curse for developing nations and NR‐based industries as having little potential to innovate and drive long‐term growth. This has led policy and development experts to opt for strategies to induce a shift in the pattern of specialization towards other sectors. This paper proposes a different approach. By exploring recent evidence from the Argentinean agricultural sector and the mining industry in Chile, it points to the window of opportunity that NR industries offer as a platform to develop knowledge intensive industries with which to support economic development in resource‐endowed countries. The lessons drawn from these findings suggest that development strategies can also promote more innovative knowledge intensive NR‐based industries rather than moving away from them.
