The authors find trade variables to be important determinants of growth, especially natural resource abundance and export concentration. In contrast with much of the recent literature, natural resource abundance appears to have a positive effect on growth, whereas export concentration hampers growth, even after controlling for physical and human capital accumulation, among other factors. 2014-05-12T18:55:40Z 2014-05-12T18:55:40Z 2003-04 http://documents.worldbank.org/curated/en/2003/04/2323015/trade-structure-growth http://hdl.handle.net/10986/18264 English en_US Policy Research Working Paper;No. 3025 CC BY 3.0 IGO http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/igo/ World Bank, Washington, DC Publications & Research :: Policy Research Working Paper Publications & Research
