The Presource Curse
12th December 2017
This article from the December 2017 edition of Finance and Development (published by the IMF) will be of interest and value to students and teachers for whom development economics and policy is a core part of their A-level Economics.
The IMF calls the presource curse a cousin to the natural resource curse. Countries that fall behind their potential growth rates are subject to what we call the presource curse. The presource curse in focuses on what happens in the short period between discovery and the start of production.
Learn about the "presource curse" in this new Finance & Development article from @davidmihalyi and @jimcust. https://t.co/udCN1MQfEy #oil #mining @ThomasLassourd @goxitweet pic.twitter.com/Y5CagYqzpC
