【报告内容简介】：

　　This lecture will commence with an overview of a key method for empirical research: the instrumental variable regression technique. The lecture will then ask the question: how can resource-rich developing countries escape the resource curse? How should resource revenues be raised and spent? The lecture will then examine existing empirical studies on various aspects of the resource curse, including the paper of Burke and Nishitateno (2013), who used an instrumental variable approach.
