Natural resources and economic growth in Africa: The role of institutional quality and human capital
Abstract
Abstract The aim of this work is to analyse the conditional effects of natural resource dependence on human capital and the quality of institutions on economic growth. Unlike most previous work, which only considers each of these interactive effects separately, this article combines the interactive effects between natural resources and institutions on the one hand and natural resources and human capital on the other in the same model. To do this, we estimated an Autoregressive Distributed Lag model on a sample of 29 countries, in which there was an average level of dependency of 19.53% from 2000 to 2015. Considering the interaction between natural resources and institutional capital on the one hand and natural resources and human capital on the other shows that the coupe human capital-corruption is an appropriate lever to take advantage of natural resources in Africa countries. These results suggest that African countries must simultaneously strengthen investments in human capital and fight against corruption to turn the curse of natural resources into a blessing.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
