This paper summarizes and extends previous research that has shown evidence of a `curse of natural resourcesa } countries with great natural resource wealth tend nevertheless to grow more slowly than resource-poor countries. This result is not easily explained by other variables, or by alternative ways to measure resource abundance. This paper shows that there is little direct evidence that omi...

In high-dimensional data analysis, the curse of dimensionality reasons that points tend to be far away from center distribution and on edge space. Contrary this, is projected tends clump at center. This gives a sense any structure near projection obscured, whether this true or not. A geometric transformation reverse curse, defined in article, which uses radial transformations data. It integrate...

We investigate experimentally a possible Winner’s Curse in a generalized environment with pure common values. In our design, participants are given examples in which parameters lead to prize values (using an undisclosed and typically complex formula). They are then asked to estimate the prize value with a final set of parameter values and then bid for this prize value in a second-price auction....
