Revisiting the Oil Curse: Does Ownership Matter?
A large body of scholarship finds a negative relationship between oil abundance and economic growth. The existing empirical evidence on the oil curse, however, does not account for variations in the ownership of oil. This article investigates whether the effect of oil abundance on growth varies with ownership structures. It also investigates whether institutional quality influences the effect o...
متن کاملIncome Inequality and the Oil Curse: The Case of Oil-Rich Developing Countries
While most literature on natural resource curse highlight its effect on the growth rate and the level of income, this paper shifts the focus toward the effect of oil dependence on the distribution of income in oil-rich developing countries (includiong Iran and 18 other countries). Moreover, the paper studies the impact of institutional quality and the interaction effect of different institution...
متن کاملAfter Peak Oil: Who Escapes the Resource Curse?*
Given the discovery of resource wealth, which factors account for future economic success and which factors hinder success? This case study compares two countries which discovered oil wealth in the late 1960s: Ecuador and Norway. The analysis gives the economic and political context and then compares three bodies of resource curse literature that relate to economic success. The study ultimately...
متن کاملEvolutionary branching in complex landscapes.
Divergent adaptation to different environments can promote speciation, and it is thus important to consider spatial structure in models of speciation. Earlier theoretical work, however, has been limited to particularly simple types of spatial structure (linear environmental gradients and spatially discrete metapopulations), leaving unaddressed the effects of more realistic patterns of landscape...
متن کاملAdaptation in simple and complex fitness landscapes
The notion that evolution can be viewed as a hill-climbing process in an adaptive landscape was introduced in 1932 by Sewall Wright [1], and remains one of the most powerful images in evolutionary biology [2]. Since the discovery of the molecular structure of genes it has been clear that the substrate over which the adaptive landscape should be properly defined is the space of genetic sequences...
