Abstract: Previous research on the curse of natural resources argues that countries with a wealth of natural resources tend to show slow economic growth compared to countries with fewer natural resources. This paper seeks to answer the questions: What is the relationship between human capital and economic growth? How do natural resources influence economic growth? And, what is the relationship between natural resources and human capital? We use panel data for the period 1993-2003 to analyze the curse of natural resources as it applies to Mexico.
