Abstract
We examine the effect of natural resource exports on economic performance during the 1996–2010 period in the 15 independent countries that formerly comprised the Soviet Union. After the fall of communism, these countries began to demonstrate marked differences from one another with respect to economic development and institutions, which has resulted in unique cross-sectional and time variation. Using several panel regression models that address endogeneity and clustering issues, our results suggest that natural resources crowd out manufacturing unless the quality of domestic institutions is sufficiently high.
