Economic Growth and Sustainable Development in Indonesia: An Assessment (2018, background): “A country that is rich in natural resources relative to population and capital tends to grow more slowly and to experience larger and more damaging fluctuations in economic growth (Ross 2015).”
The Economic Origins of Conflict in Africa (2017, unknown): “…and Persson (2008) find that higher export prices increase violence through a predation effect (Hirshleifer 1991), a result in line with a large literature linking oil prices in particular with conflict in low- and middle-income countries (Collier and Hoeffler 2005; Koubi et al. 2014; Ross 2015).”
Global patterns of ecologically unequal exchange: Implications for sustainability in the 21st century (2021, background): “Interestingly, the significant 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”
Socio-economic and environmental implications of Artisanal and Small-scale Mining (ASM) on agriculture and livelihoods (2020, background): “Particularly, proponents of this curse observe that natural resource-endowed countries tend to have slower economic growth than their non-resource rich counterparts (Ross, 2015), with the ‘Dutch disease’ (Corden and Neary, 1982; Corden, 1984) as one of the causal mechanisms.”
The Implications of Natural Resource Exports for Nonresource Trade (2016, unknown): “Stijns (2003) employs a gravity framework and finds a Dutch disease effect of resource exports as an increase in world energy prices decreases manufacturing exports.”
The extractive industries and development: The resource curse at the micro, meso and macro levels (2015, background): “Cross-country statistical analysis has verified the link between mineral resources and limited government democratic accountability (Andersen and Ross, 2014; Aslaksen, 2010; Ross, 2001; Tsui, 2011).”
