The Politics of the Resource Curse: A Review (2020, background): “Morrison (2009) reports that non-tax revenue is associated with enhanced regime stability in both autocracies and democracies, but through somewhat different avenues: it leads to greater social spending in autocracies but the reduced taxation of elites in democracies.”
The Big Oil Change (2014, background): “…the resource curse hypothesis, which is that when autocratic states collect a lot of oil revenues, they become less likely to transit to democracy (e.g., Andersen & Aslaksen, 2013; Clark, Poast, & Weins, 2012; Morrison, 2009; Papaioannou & Siourounis, 2008; Ross, 2009; Smith, 2004; Ulfelder, 2007).”
Aid Is Not Oil: Donor Utility, Heterogeneous Aid, and the Aid-Democratization Relationship (2015, background): “Morrison 2009, 109.”
Oil and Revolutionary Governments: Fuel for International Conflict (2010, background): “…potential for it+ 20+ The political effects of oil have been usefully explored by a number of scholars including Karl 1997; Ross 2001; Dunning 2008; and Morrison 2009+ 21+ The argument focuses on the level of domestic political risk that a leader faces for seeking to alter the international status…”
Racing to the Bottom or to the Top? Decentralization, Revenue Pressures, and Governance Reform in China (2017, unknown): “…when local politicians have access to revenue acquired from outside their local tax base (such as fiscal transfers) and enormous discretion over how this revenue is spent (fiscal authority), fiscal transfers can be likened to ‘windfall revenue’ (Morrison 2009, 110-111; Gervasoni 2010, 307).”
Foreign Aid and Regime Change: A Role for Donor Intent (2011, unknown): “Looking over a long time horizon, Bueno de Mesquita and Smith (2010), Djankov et al. (2008), and Morrison (2009) argue that aid helps entrench the regime in power.”
The Perils of Unearned Foreign Income: Aid, Remittances, and Government Survival (2012, background): “This justifies their aggregation (Morrison 2009).”
The ICTD Government Revenue Dataset (2014, background): “They find significant support for the contention that states that are more reliant on non-tax revenue, primarily from natural resources, are less like to be democratic – while finding no evidence that non-tax revenue has the stabilising effect suggested by Morrison (2009).”
