Abstract Taking the resource-based cities in the Ordos Basin located in the Yellow River Basin as the research object, this paper uses the panel data from 2000 to 2017 to verify “Resource Curse” hypothesis by constructing the resource curse coefficient using. There are following empirical results: (1) the “Resource Curse” effect of resource-based cities in Ordos Basin shows an overall downward trend from 2000 to 2017. (2) The “Resource Curse” effect of resource-based cities in different life cycle stages is different. Mature resource-based cities are the weakest, growth resource-based cities take the second place, and declining resource-based cities are the strongest. (3) Fiscal decentralization, industrial upgrading and technological progress can alleviate the “Resource Curse” effect to a certain degree. And the economic autonomy (fiscal decentralization) of resource-based cities is not only an important factor affecting industrial upgrading and technological progress, but also the fundamental premise to break the “Resource Curse” effect.
