Mining and Local Corruption in Africa (2017, background): “Ross and Andersen (2012) question some of the specifications in Haber and Menaldo (2011) and show indications of an effect in more recent decades, after the oil crisis and price shock in 1973, with structural changes to how oil production is governed domestically and internationally. (3)Yet, the lit”
Resource Windfalls, Political Regimes, and Political Stability (2016, neutral): “Haber and Menaldo (2011) and Wacziarg (2012) find no evidence that oil windfalls lead to greater autocracy. One concern with the Haber and Menaldo (2011) study is that its measure of oil revenue, partly based on oil production, is potentially endogenous to democratic change, while a possible concern”
The Big Oil Change (2014, background): “They are also consistent with a recent study by Jones Luong and Weinthal (2010), which argues that oil wealth only leads to harmful outcomes when the government has a dominant role in the oil industry.”
The extractive industries and development: The resource curse at the micro, meso and macro levels (2015, background): “…that it is the extent of mineral wealth that matters for democratic accountability rather than any shorter term changes in mineral affluence (e.g. a short-term income windfall induced by price fluctuations; see Haber and Menaldo, 2010; Wacziarg, 2012; Wright et al., 2015; Andersen and Ross, 2014).”
The Resource Curse Exorcised: Evidence from a Panel of Countries (2015, background): “Consistent with Hodler (2006), higher ethnic fragmentation has a negative effect, but the estimate is only significant at a 10% level in the first specification.”
Show Me the Money: Interjurisdiction Political Competition and Fiscal Extraction in China (2014, background): “For the recent debate about the cross-country evidence, see Haber and Menaldo (2011) and Andersen and Ross (2014).”
Which Democracies Will Last? Coups, Incumbent Takeovers, and the Dynamic of Democratic Consolidation (2014, neutral): “43 Clark, Golder, and Golder 2012; Haber and Menaldo 2011.”
How Collateral Laws Shape Lending and Sectoral Activity (2016, neutral): “As a proxy for a country’s comparative advantage in real-estate intensive sectors, we use a measure of natural resource abundance, defined as the real value of petroleum, coal, natural gas, and metals produced per capita (Haber and Menaldo, 2011).”
Oil Price Shocks, Income, and Democracy (2012, background): “Haber and Menaldo (2011) examine the relationship between several measures of oil income and democracy going back as far as 1861. Their approach exploits the variation of oil prices as well as changes in oil production. Their main finding is that if anything, the data point to a positive rather than”
