report
posted on 2023-06-09, 03:41 authored by Nouf Alsharif, Sambit BhattacharyyaSambit Bhattacharyya, Maurizio IntartagliaDiversification is often presented as a desirable policy objective for petroleum rich nations. Yet very little is known about the causes and consequences of diversification in petroleum rich states. In this paper we review the recent literature on diversification in oil-exporting states. We identify gaps and shortcomings in this literature along with documenting some trends in non-oil exports and non-oil private sector employment in hydrocarbon rich countries. We conclude with an agenda for research addressing the potential gaps in the literature.
