The analysis reveals that oil-rich Africa lags behind other oil-exporters in terms of diversification, global market share and the overall investment climate. The poor performance of their nonoil sector can be largely attributed to weak infrastructure and institutional quality. The results also show that institutional quality 410 0$aIMF Working Papers 606 $aPetroleum industry and trade$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan$xEconometric models 606 $aCompetition$xEconometric models$zAfrica, Sub-Saharan 607 $aAfrica, Sub-Saharan$xEconomic conditions$xEconometric models 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aPetroleum industry and trade$xEconometric models. 615 0$aCompetition$xEconometric models 676 $a338.27282 700 $aQureshi$b Mahvash Saeed$0872367 701 $aBrianc?on$b Cyrille$0874351 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910463595803321 996 $aAfrica's oil abundance and external competitiveness$92196649 997 $aUNINA
