Since 1990, Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region has achieved the highest economic growth in the whole China. From 2003 to 2009, for seven successive years, its real GDP growth rate was ranked at the first place among the 31 Chinese provinces and, except 1991 and 1999 it was with consecutive two digits growth for 19 years until 2011 (figure 1, table 1). The economic gross weight (the GDP total amount) drastically rose too, from the 23rd place to 15th place in a mere four years from 2004 through 2008 (table 2). The real economic growth rate that exceeded the average growth rate of the whole China, continued for 16years until 2011 (figure 1, table 1). This economic (GDP) growth is also called "Inner Mongolia phenomenon". However, in 2005, the growth rate dropped (as the nominal growth rate from its peak of 2008), and it was ranked at the six place with 15% in 2010, and in sixth place with 14.3%, in 2011. In addition, nominal growth rate of 5.28% in 2013 was the worst rate since 1978 (figure 1, table 1). In this paper, from the awareness of contributing factors for Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region economic high-speed growth, we will analyze empirically the factors that influenced to this economic high growth after 1990 and particularly after 2000. As a conclusion of this paper, we can summarize that the main factor that contributed to the high economic growth of Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region it was the investment-led growth method in underground mineral resources development-related industry.
