Abstract
This paper explores the link between education expenditure from both public and private sectors and the alleviation of the resource curse in 11 OPEC countries from 2000 to 2020. Utilizing the PMG-ARDL estimator, the study finds that a 1% increase in state education investment results in a 0.08% short-term and a 0.17% long-term rise in oil rent. In contrast, a 1% increase in private education investment leads to a 0.10% decrease in short-term and a 0.35% decrease in long-term oil rent. The research highlights the positive effects of GDP growth, trade volume, and electricity consumption in promoting economic diversification. The findings suggest that OPEC nations should enhance private sector education investments and focus on “greening” education to foster sustainable development and economic resilience.

Resources Policy is an international journal focused on the economics and policy aspects of mineral and fossil fuel extraction, production, and utilization. It targets individuals in academia, government, and industry. The journal seeks original research submissions analyzing public policy, economics, social science, geography, and finance in the fields of mining, non-fuel minerals, energy minerals, fossil fuels, and metals. Mineral economics topics covered include mineral market analysis, price analysis, project evaluation, mining and sustainable development, mineral resource rents, resource curse, mineral wealth and corruption, mineral taxation and regulation, strategic minerals and their supply, and the impact of mineral development on local communities and indigenous populations. The journal specifically excludes papers with agriculture, forestry, or fisheries as their primary focus.
