• Global patterns of ecologically unequal exchange: Implications for sustainability in the 21st century (2021, background): “…negative effect of biophysical reserves on technological adaptation indicates that countries rich in biophysical resources tend to fall behind in technological development, a possible indication for the global presence of the much-debated “Natural Resource Curse” (Ross, 2015; Venables, 2016).”
• Real exchange rate policies for economic development (2017, unknown): “…failure is known as the resource curse.6 6 There are other dimensions of the resource curse, e.g., related to rent-seeking (for a thorough analysis of factors that have historically prevented economies rich in resources to make a proper use of them for fostering development, see Venables, 2016).”
