Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to analyse the effects of natural resources on income inequality conditional on economic complexity in 111 developed and developing countries from 1995 to 2016. The system-GMM results show that economic complexity reverses the positive effects of natural resource dependence on income inequality. Furthermore, results are robust to the distinction between dependence on point resources (fossil fuels, ores, and metals), dependence on diffuse resources (agricultural raw material), and resource abundance. Finally, there are significant differences between countries, depending on the level of ethnic fragmentation and democracy.

自然资源与收入不平等：经济复杂性是关键

本文旨在分析 1995 年至 2016 年期间，自然资源对 111 个发达国家和发展中国家收入不平等的影响，条件是经济复杂性。系统-GMM 结果显示，经济复杂性逆转了自然资源依赖对收入不平等的积极影响。此外，区分对点状资源（化石燃料、矿石和金属）的依赖、对面状资源（农业原材料）的依赖和资源丰富程度，结果都是稳健的。最后，根据民族分裂和民主程度的不同，国家之间存在显著差异。

期刊介绍： Environment and Development Economics is positioned at the intersection of environmental, resource and development economics. The Editor and Associate Editors, supported by a distinguished panel of advisors from around the world, aim to encourage submissions from researchers in the field in both developed and developing countries. The Journal is divided into two main sections, Theory and Applications, which includes regular academic papers and Policy Options, which includes papers that may be of interest to the wider policy community. Environment and Development Economics also publishes occasional Policy Fora (discussions based on a focal paper). From time to time the journal publishes special issues based on a particular theme.
