MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: The aim of this study is to econometrically investigate whether the Dutch Disease and Rent Seeking effects related to the Natural Resource Curse, undermine Foreign Direct Investment’s effect on Economic Development, Income Inequality and Poverty. This involves a cross-country analysis of 69 developing countries over two decades, 1970-1990
