Description
Summary:One of the objectives of any economy is to achieve the highest level of well-being, making effective use of production factors such as natural resources (forests, land, water, animals and minerals), investment, education, openness, research and development, leaving aside factors that limit well-being such as corruption. We start from the hypothesis of the curse of natural resources, which predicts that those economies with abundant natural resources tend to have lower economic growth than those with scarce natural resources. Affecting factors that are of paramount importance for economic growth. What is the relationship between natural resources and economic growth? Which states specialize in primary sector activities? What is the relationship between natural resources and factors of importance to economic growth such as investment, education, openness, investment and development, and corruption? What information is there for new research? The objectives to be achieved include analyzing the specialization index for states, as well as determining whether there is convergence between states, either sigma or absolute, using data panel analysis for the period 1993-2003. The main results show few states specialized in the primary sector, only a reduction in the dispersion of initial income in coastal states, a negative relationship of natural resources and positive vector variables with respect to economic growth, presenting the curse in education, investment and openness.
