    This paper models export diversification in the context of an abundance of natural resources by decomposing the relative Theil index. On a sample of 160 countries from 1996 to 2018 we document that 74% of the high export concentration typical of the initial stage of development is driven by the limited variety of products other than natural resources. Later, the component representing export reallocation between resources and non-resource products gains importance, and eventually, together with intra-resource heterogeneity, explains the entire amount of export diversification at high income levels. Our estimates show that natural resource abundance (in particular of fossil fuels) impedes overall diversification, limiting the variety of non-resource exports and hampering restructuring towards technologically advanced exports. However, once size and productivity differences across countries are taken into account, the effect of resource abundance on export diversification is weak.

    This paper compares two alternative growth paths, assessing the effects on productivity of specialisation in natural resources (NR) and in technologically advanced products. The empirical analysis exploits product-level export data for 109 developing and 51 developed economies over the period 1996-2018. We document two distinct types of specialisation, based on exports either of natural resources or of technological products, and compare their role in productivity growth by GMM estimation of a conditional convergence model. In general, reliance on natural resource exports slows growth, but we find that the type of resources exported is important: fuel exports hamper growth while specialisation in metals enhances the catch-up in productivity. Technological specialisation, especially in products typical of the Fourth Industrial Revolution, reinforces productivity growth but does not affect the relationship between resources and productivity growth.
