Abstract

The study interacted different measures of institutional quality and oil-resource abundance to determine if good institutions can reverse resource curse or enhance resource blessing in African oil rich countries. Result showed that institutional quality insignificantly enhanced per-capita income growth, thereby questioning institutional quality in these countries, but surprisingly, the interaction variables were negative and significant alluding to the fact that the quality of institutions in these countries would not be able to reverse the resource curse in these countries. It is therefore expedient to strengthen the quality of the institutions to sustain growth and enhance proper resource management in these countries.
