The political economy of the resource curse : a literature survey (2006, background): “Yet studies that have used such measures – such as Herb (2003) and Collier and Hoeffler (2005) – have so far provided only mixed support for the notion of a resource curse.”

Resource Curse: New Evidence on the Role of Institutions (2014, background): “…the curse through avoidance of rent-seeking behavior (Auty, 2001), reducing corruption (Isham et al., 2005; Robinson, Torvik, & Verdier, 2006), lowering the risk of violent civil conflict (Collier & Hoeffler, 2005), and accelerating efficient resource allocation (Atkinson & Hamilton, 2003).”
Subnational Taxation in Developing Countries: A Review of the Literature (2011, background): “…one or two of these characteristics, with the result that the "ownership" of particular taxes may be unclear.16 14 For recent treatments of issues with respect to the assignment of natural resource revenues, see Brosio (2006), Collier and Hoeffler (2005) and Davis, Ossowski and Fedelino (2003).”

Cursing the blessings? Natural resource abundance, institutions, and economic growth (2008, neutral): “For example, Auty (1997, 2001) tries to explain the curse historically, while Ross (2001) and Collier and Hoeﬄer (2005) focus on the negative associations between resource abundance and the stability and quality of the political system.”
