Abstract
The purpose with this study is to examine if a higher level of natural resources hinders export diversification in less developed countries. This is important as low export diversification might affect a country negatively in several aspects that might lead to lower economic growth. Successful management of natural resources is of principle interest for an economist since it affects the direction a country takes. An econometric survey is made with help from panel data regressions. For the issue “the resource curse and export diversification in less developed countries. A contradiction?” the conclusion has been reached that yes, it is a contradiction. Less developed countries get a lowered diversification when their profits from the natural... (More)

An econometric survey is made with help from panel data regressions. For the issue “the resource curse and export diversification in less developed countries.

Less developed countries get a lowered diversification when their profits from the natural resource sector increases, they get stuck in the resource curse. (Less)
