The Big Oil Change (2014, result): “Why do these findings differ so much from other recent studies, which conclude that there is a resource curse (Andersen & Aslaksen, 2013; Aslaksen, 2010; Cuaresma, Oberhofer, & Raschky, 2010; Fayad, Bates, & Hoeffler, 2011; Ramsay, 2011; Ross, 2012; Tsui, 2010)?”
Natural Resources and Economic Development: New Panel Evidence (2015, background): “2005; Ding and Field 2005; Arezki and Ploeg 2011) and provides evidence that the curse primarily operates by undermining the quality of a country’s governing institutions, thereby increasing the incidence of corruption, waste, mismanagement, and even social conflict (Ross 2001, 2006; Bulte et al. 20”

The Resource Curse Exorcised: Evidence from a Panel of Countries (2015, background): “Tsui (2011) uses a similar analysis and finds that countries that discover more oil (with oil discovered instrumented by estimated endowments) become less democratic in the following decades.”
The Resource Curse and its Potential Reversal (2013, background): “We do note, however, that, for example, in the period 1970–2005 there seems to be an effect of oil rich countries having less movement toward democracy (reflecting the results found in e.g. Ross, 2001, and Tsui, 2011).”
