| dc.description.abstract | This paper introduces quality of government rather than regime type as dependent variable in
studies of the political effects of natural resources. It consists of two parts. First, it theorizes
the role of fiscal dependency of oil and gas rents in relation to three different dimensions of
quality of government; low corruption, bureaucratic quality and legal impartiality. Second, it
finds significant, negative effects of oil and gas rent dependency on all three dimensions of
quality in a sample of 139 states in the period 1984 to 2006. The results hold for inclusion of
control variables such as regime type, income, region and religion. | en |
