Abstract

Cilj rada bio je odrediti povezanost raspoloživih prirodnih resursa zemalja Europske unije i njihove gospodarske razvijenosti. Deskriptivnom metodom opisan je fenomen „prokletstva prirodnih resursa“ te su prikazane sastavnice prirodnog bogatstva Hrvatske. Korelacijskom analizom na primjeru EU27 utvrđena je negativna korelacija između raspoloživosti poljoprivrednog zemljišta i bogatstva šumskih površina s BDP-om po stanovniku PPP. Nije utvrđena korelacija između raspoloživosti odabranih prirodnih resursa i ljudskog razvojnog indeksa. Primjenom jednostavne linearne regresije na istim varijablama nije utvrđena reprezentativnost niti jednog regresijskog modela što sugerira kako odabrani prirodni resursi ne utječu znatnije na gospodarski razvoj EU27.

Abstract (english)

The aim of the paper was to determine the connection between the availability of the natural resources in the EU countries and their economic development. The paper describes the phenomenon of the "curse of natural resources" using the descriptive method and presents the components of Croatia's natural wealth. Correlation analysis on the example of EU27 members found a negative correlation between the availability of agricultural land and the abundance of forest areas, and the GDP per capita at purchasing power parity. No correlation was found between availability of the selected natural resources and the Human Development Index. Having used the simple linear regression on the same variables, no regression model was found to be representative, which suggests that the selected natural resources do not significantly affect the economic development of the EU27.
