The production of electronic and computer components contaminates air, land, and water around the globe. As this eye-opening book reveals, the people who suffer the consequences are largely poor, female, immigrant, and minority.

Regional integration of two large open economiesThe paper provides an alternative explanation for the "resource curse" based on the income effect resulting from high government current spending in resource rich economies. Using a simple life cycle framework, we show that private investment in the non-resource sector is adversely affected if private agents expect extra government current spending financed through resource sector revenues in the future. This income channel of the resource curse is stronger for countries with lower degrees of openness and forward altruism. We empirically validate these findings by estimating non-hydrocarbon sector growth regressions using a panel of 25 oil-exporting countries over 1992-2005.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2009/112Resource curseEconomic developmentExports and ImportsimfMacroeconomicsimfPublic FinanceimfNatural ResourcesimfMethodology for Collecting, Estimating, and Organizing Macroeconomic DataimfData AccessimfMacroeconomic Analyses of Economic DevelopmentimfOne, Two, and Multisector Growth ModelsimfNonrenewable Resources and Conservation: GeneralimfNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: GeneralimfAggregate Factor Income DistributionimfInternational InvestmentimfLong-term Capital MovementsimfAgricultural and Natural Resource EconomicsimfEnvironmental and Ecological Economics: GeneralimfPublic finance & taxationimfInternational economicsimfEnvironmental managementimfExpenditureimfIncomeimfCurrent spendingimfCapital flowsimfNatural resourcesimfNational accountsimfBalance of paymentsimfEnvironmentimfExpenditures, PublicimfCapital movementsimfNigeriaimfResource curse.Economic development.Exports and ImportsMacroeconomicsPublic FinanceNatural ResourcesMethodology for Collecting, Estimating, and Organizing Macroeconomic DataData AccessMacroeconomic Analyses of Economic DevelopmentOne, Two, and Multisector Growth ModelsNonrenewable Resources and Conservation: GeneralNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: GeneralAggregate Factor Income DistributionInternational InvestmentLong-term Capital MovementsAgricultural and Natural Resource EconomicsEnvironmental and Ecological Economics: GeneralPublic finance & taxationInternational economicsEnvironmental managementExpenditureIncomeCurrent spendingCapital flowsNatural resourcesNational accountsBalance of paymentsEnvironmentExpenditures, PublicCapital movementsAlichi Ali1472681Arezki Rabah1472682International Monetary Fund.DcWaIMFBOOK9910788334403321An Alternative Explanation for the Resource Curse3685549UNINA
