Abstract
Problems and consequences of resource specialization are considered. The size of the resource sector and its contribution to the main indicators of the Russian economy under economic growth are assessed. Interindustry links of resource industries, the formation and distribution of their revenues, and the tax load on the resource sector are analyzed using input-output tables.
