The aim of this bachelor's thesis is to show and explain the resourse curse as one of the economical phenomen that today's economists face. Resources are the most important factors in a country's economy. They can be renewable and nonrenewable. Every country has its wealth in resources, some more and some less. The benefits of these are obtained by exploiting them. As some countries cannot use their resources to achieve desirable economic development, the resource curse and many problems arise. High revenues from exports and import of natural resources lead to currency appreciation, leading to price increases and the occurrence of Dutch disease, first defined by the economist magazine in the 1970s. Price volatility also affects the resource curse, because if prices are volatile it will affect supply and demand in the goods and services market itself. Political reasons for the existence if resourse cure are quality of institutions working, working of government and corruption. Some of effects phenomenon of resourse curse are: social and ecological problems, conflicts, country weakly collects benefits etc.
