abstract: 'Some studies suggest that resource-rich countries tend to allocate
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
talent and investment toward the resource sector and away from
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
manufacturing or agriculture reducing the competitiveness of these other
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sectors. Because mining overwhelmingly employs men, when other sectors
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
shrink so do employment opportunities for women (Ross, 2008). This could
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
significantly affect core social structures. Using plausibly exogenous
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
variation in natural resource wealth due to giant oil discoveries and an
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
event study design, this paper finds that giant oil discoveries are
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
associated with relatively worse female outcomes as measured by higher
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
male/female population ratios, higher teen birth rates, and lower
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
educational attendance of tertiary education among women relative to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
men. However, the impact on health outcomes tapers off within 8 years.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Additionally, during periods of increasing oil prices, there is no
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
significant evidence of such effects possibly due to an income effect.'
