Why do some resource-abundant countries succeed while others do not?
梳理了资源丰富国家中成功者与失败者的差异维度，并评述了资源诅咒的理论模型，尤其关注政治经济学的最新进展，帮助理解自然资源为何在一些国家带来繁荣而在另一些国家导致停滞。
On average, resource-abundant countries have experienced lower growth over the last four decades than their resource-poor counterparts. But the most interesting aspect of the paradox of plenty is not the average effect of natural resources, but its variation. For every Nigeria or Venezuela there is a Norway or a Botswana. Why do natural resources induce prosperity in some countries but stagnation in others? This paper gives an overview of the dimensions along which resource-abundant winners and losers differ. In light of this, it then discusses different theory models of the resource curse, with a particular emphasis on recent developments in political economy.
