Jonathan Munemo

Summary: This study reveals that countries in Africa with high resource rents tend to have lower levels of entrepreneurial activity, indicating a preference for rent-seeking behavior over entrepreneurship. Therefore, policies that incentivize productive entrepreneurship and discourage rent-seeking behavior are crucial for reversing this negative relationship in African countries with high natural resource-derived income.
