Trade Diversification, Income, and Growth: What Do We Know? (2013, neutral): “Similar results can be found in the work of Auty (2000, 2001).”
The Curse Of Natural Resources In The Transition Economies (2003, neutral): “Natural resource abundance may also create a false sense of security in the people, as pointed out by Auty (2001). Necessary (and possibly painful) reforms of the labour market and other sectors are delayed because the country can survive on natural resource exports alone.”
Escaping the Resource Curse and the Dutch Disease? When and Why Norway Caught up with and Forged ahead of Its Neighbors (2006, background): “Auty (2001a), Gylfason (2001a), Mikesell (1997) Sachs and Warner (1999, 2001), and Torvik (2001) say that the curse mechanism may be generalized to conflicts over distribution; manifested in rent seeking.”
Natural Resources and Economic Growth: The Role of Investment (2006, neutral): “Second, huge natural resource rents may create opportunities for rent-seeking behaviour on a large scale on the part of producers, thus diverting resources away from more socially fruitful economic activity (Auty, 2001; Gelb, 1988).”
Ecological Unequal Exchange: Consumption, Equity, and Unsustainable Structural Relationships within the Global Economy (2007, background): “…LDCs integrated into the global economy primarily through exports of natural resources exhibit slower economic growth (Atkinson and Hamilton, 2003; Auty, 1997, 2001; Gylfason, 2001; Sachs and Warner, 2001) and lower rates of physical, human, and natural capital development (Atkinson and Hamilton,…”
The curse of natural resources (2001, background): “Also important are Auty (2000) points about how the political process gets captured in resource-abundant economies.”
Do natural resources matter for interstate and intrastate armed conflict? (2014, background): “This in turn often implies a level of bureaucratic capacity that is too low to manage societal peace (Auty, 2001a,b; Torvik, 2002; Fearon & Laitin, 2003; Snyder & Bhavnani, 2005).”
Is Natural Resource Abundance a Stimulus for Financial Development in the USA (2017, background): “There is an evidence in the existing literature regarding the negative relation between natural resource abundance and financial development; however, to date, this relation has not been determined conclusively (see e.g., Sachs and Warner, 1995, 2001; Auty, 2001; Gylfason, 2001a, 2001b).”
Can the Natural Resource Curse Be Turned Into a Blessing? The Role of Trade Policies and Institutions (2007, neutral): “The idea is that point-based resources are more prone to rapacious rent seeking and the resource curse (e.g., Auty, 2001; Isham et al., 2003; Sala-i-Martin and Subramanian, 2003; Murshed, 2004; and Lay and Mahmoud, 2004).”
Government Spending, Corruption and Economic Growth (2016, background): “This is particularly important for Africa, where huge natural resource endowments create opportunities for rent-seeking behaviour on a large scale, diverting resources away from more socially fruitful economic activity (Auty, 2001).”
Product export diversification and sustainable economic growth in developing countries (2019, background): “The arguments tested draw on Prebisch’s thesis (Prebisch, 1959) of a decline in the terms of trade between industrialized and non-industrialized countries, volatile export earnings and low productivity (Sachs and Warner, 1997; Auty, 2000, 2001; Collier and Dehn, 2001).”
Provision of electricity to African households: The importance of democracy and institutional quality (2015, background): “…curse” literature, where the argument has been made that in the absence of good democratic institutions (e.g., rule of law, lack of corruption, conflict management etc.) exploitation of natural resources could provide meagre opportunities for public benefits (Auty, 2001; Van der Ploeg, 2011).”
Is Transparency the Key to Reducing Corruption in Resource-Rich Countries? (2009, background): “The result is large income inequalities and low social capital accumulation, which causes political conflict and obstructs institutional development (Auty, 2001; Woolcock, Pritchett, & Isham, 2001).”
