... An empirical challenge in this topic concerns issues of endogeneity, specifically due to possible selection into treatment (Brunnschweiler and Poelhekke, 2021). The mining boom is assumed to be exogenous since it was generated by global demand and not local supply shifts (Radetzki et al., 2008;Farooki and Kaplinsky, 2013;Singleton, 2014). ...

... An empirical challenge in this topic concerns endogeneity issues, specifically due to possible selection into treatment (Brunnschweiler & Poelhekke, 2021). The empirical literature argues that resource endowments are exogenous, they happen because of chance, local geology, and not the political and economic environment in the host municipality; thus, they are considered good measures of exogenous variation in resource wealth (Brunnschweiler & Bulte, 2008;Van der Ploeg & Poelhekke, 2010). ...

... Economic indicators have long been established in the empirical conflict literature as the most robust predictors of armed civil conflict (Collier, Hoeffler, 2002;Fearon, Laitin, 2003;Hegre, Sambanis, 2006). However, although the link between economic variables and armed civil conflict seems strong, the causality is uncertain due to endogeneity issues, mainly arising from reverse causality and omitted variable bias (Brunnschweiler, Lujala, 2017). This critique invites further research on the economic dimension when investigating post-conflict government stability, avoiding the mentioned pitfalls. ...

... They find a positive relationship between GDP growth and the ratio of resource exports to GDP (significant coefficient of 0.07, see their Table 5). Brunnschweiler and Bulte (2008) using cross-section data, estimate the relationship between natural resources and economic performance for samples of 60 and 80 countries, examined between 1970 and 2000. Economic performance is the change in the average GDP in PPP. ...

... Since the oil price is public knowledge, such an interpretation is hard to reconcile with a pattern of increasing conflicts as the oil price rises. Rather, our results offer evidence consistent with the argument made by Brunnschweiler, Jennings and MacKenzie (2014) on fairness concerns in labour conflicts with data from the UK. 13 These results are all the more important to keep in mind since Kazakhstan was not the only country hit by labour conflicts in its extraction sector during the 2000s. The global number of labour conflicts in the resource sector actually follows a strikingly similar pattern as the development of conflicts in Kazakhstan. ...

... However, there are numerous dissenting voices and significant variation and subtlety in the empirical work that has been conducted on this matter. Some more recent studies have even managed to reverse the direction of impact: i.e. resource intensity slightly increases rather than reduces growth rates when resource intensity is measured in a different way from that used by most studies (Brunnschweiler and Bulte 2008). From the viewpoint of this present study the most important conclusion is the one re-iterated in a very recent paper for the IMF namely that, ...

... Per valori maggiori, l'effetto delle risorse naturali sul reddito pro capite diventa progressivamente più negativo. Altri autori hanno mostrato come la polarizzazione etnica aumenti i comportamenti rent seeking in Paesi con un'abbondanza di risorse naturali (Baggio e Papyrakis, 2009), o come il conflitto violento sia più probabile se i Paesi ricchi di risorse sono etnicamente frammentati (Brunnschweiler e Bulte, 2009). Così come le risorse naturali, anche gli aiuti stranieri possono essere intesi come una sorta di "manna caduta dal cielo" che può comportare effetti negativi sulla crescita, laddove essi stimolino la concorrenza sleale tra più gruppi etnici. ...
