Abstract

In this thesis, we analyze the relationship between dependence on oil exports and growth volatility, controlling for other determinants. We collect annual data from 1995 to 2015 on a sample of 42 oil net exporting countries and use the standard system generalized methods of moments (GMM) approach developed by Arellano and Bover (1995) and Blundell and Bond (1998). We also investigate the channels that moderate this effect through macroeconomic policies suggested by policymakers and we find evidence that supports the mitigating effect of financial development, institutional quality and human capital on the transmission of oil dependence on growth volatility.Advisors/Committee Members: Freitas, Miguel Lebre de.
