Resource rents and inclusive human development in developing countries (2021, background): “While several growth studies reveal that the impact of natural resources on a country’s development outcomes depends on human capital (Gylfason, 2001; Zalle, 2019), others reiterate the importance of institutional quality (Sala-i-Martin and Subramanian, 2013).”
The resource curse revisited and revised (2006, neutral): “2 This is not to argue that there are no “dissident” views: Manzano and Rigobon (2001) focus their analysis on debt overhang, Papyrakis and Gerlagh (2004) focus on the role of investments, Gylfason (2001) and Bravo-Ortega and De Gregorio (2005) on the role of human capital, and Hausmann and Rigobon ”
Escaping the Resource Curse and the Dutch Disease? When and Why Norway Caught up with and Forged ahead of Its Neighbors (2006, background): “Many authors, e.g. Auty (2001a), Gylfason (2001a), Sachs and Warner, Stevens, and Torvik (2002) point toward rent seeking and corruption as core elements of what causes the curse.”
Inequality in Landownership, the Emergence of Human-Capital Promoting Institutions, and the Great Divergence (2009, positive): “Sachs and Warner (1995) and Gylfason (2001) document a significant inverse relationship between natural resources and growth in the post World-War II era.”
Drivers of Export Upgrading (2013, background): “Moreover, better institutional quality can allow a country to elude adverse effects, which may accompany an abundance of resources, and so enable the country to exploit the margins of such resources effectively (Gylfason, 2001).”
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.”
The Quality of Political Institutions and the Curse of Natural Resources (2011, positive): “Gylfason (2001) additionally lists Indonesia and Thailand as countries attaining both long-term investment exceeding 25% GDP and per capita GNP growth exceeding 4% per year on average from 1970 to 1998.”
Oil revenue shocks and government spending behavior in Iran (2011, background): “Gylfason (2001) shows that more education transfers a comparative advantage from a primary production (e.”
Extending the concept of the resource curse: natural resources and public spending on health (2014, methodology): “Finally, Gylfason (1999, 2001) notes that school enrolment tends to be inversely related to resource abundance, suggesting that natural capital crowds out human capital.”
Natural Resources: Curse or Blessing? (2011, background): “Of sixty-five resource rich, developing countries, only four managed to achieve long-term investment exceeding 25 percent of GDP and an average GDP growth exceeding 4 percent— namely Botswana, Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand (Thorvaldur Gylfason 2001).”
The Resource Curse Exorcised: Evidence from a Panel of Countries (2015, background): “One commonly cited culprit is the so-called “Dutch disease” (a term coined in 1977 after the natural gas boom in the Netherlands), whereby resource exports increase exchange rates, reducing the competitiveness of exporters in the manufacturing sector (Sachs & Warner 1995, Gylfason, et al 1999, Sala-”
