In a recent contribution we have found an interesting result to discuss the "natural resource curse" hypothesis: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/299484809_DIVISION_INTERNACIONAL_DEL_TRABAJO_Y_DISTRIBUCION_GEOGRAFICA_DEL_BIENESTAR_UNA_NUEVA_APROXIMACION_METODOLOGICA?ev=prf_pub
While agriculture appears to be harmful in terms of Sen's welfare measures (the standard finding, see http://www.nber.org/papers/w15836), mining results entail the opposite. Added-value by mining activities are correlated with higher welfare measures than many industrial alternatives.
In this context, we are looking for empirical literature examining the role of mining rules in the awakening of China's new development mode.
We'll really appreciate any help.
