Do resource-extraction booms crowd out postsecondary education? We explore this question by examining the higher education-related decisions of Chilean high school graduates during the 2000s commodities boom. We find mineral extraction increases a person's likelihood of enrolling in...

Rent seekers in rentier states : when greed brings peace
Bjorvatn, Kjetil; Naghavi, Alireza - 2010
Are natural resources a source of conflict or stability? Empirical studies demonstrate that rents from natural resources, and in particular oil, are an important source of civil war. Allegedly, resource rents attract rent seekers, which destabilize society. However, there is a large literature...

Strategic resource dependence
Gerlagh, Reyer; Liski, Matti - 2008
We consider a situation where an exhaustible-resource seller faces demand from a buyer who has a perfect substitute but there is a time-to-build delay for the substitute. We that find in this simple framework the basic implications of the Hotelling model (1931) are reversed: over time the stock...

Cost-reducing R&D in the presence of an appropriation alternative : an application to the natural resource curse
Martin Puzon, Klarizze Anne - 2013 - This version: January 2013
This study proposes a new mechanism for the resource curse: crowding-out of innovation due to the existence of an option to engage in conflict. Using a game theoretical framework, it is argued that an increase in the amount of natural resources (in the informal sector here conflict for a...

Absolute abundance and relative scarcity : announced policy, resource extraction, and carbon emissions
Di Maria, Corrado; Smulders, Sjak; Van der Werf, Edwin - 2008
We study the effectiveness of climate change policy in a model with multiple non-renewable resources that differ in their carbon content. We find that, when allowing some time between announcement and implementation of a cap on carbon dioxide emissions, emissions from non-renewable energy...
