Influencing factor of local environment demand and assessment of external cost during resources exploitation

The abundance of non-renewable energy resource is interlaced with frangibility of the environment in many areas of China. In this paper, we developed a theoretical model explaining why resources exploitation will impede economic growth mainly through the demand scale of local environment products. Moreover, we construct a standardization framework to estimate the ecological and environment external cost, which include estimating methods, estimating process and preferences, etc. we apply this standardization estimating framework to systemically and completely value the environment pollution and ecological depravation loss during non-renewable energy resource mining in northern Shaanxi. Our results confirmed that urgent requirement of sustainable development in China is to reform the extraction mode of non-renewable energy resource thoroughly in order to prolong its mining term and to sufficiently compensate the ecological and environmental loss during resource extraction.
