The Dutch Disease in Angola: An Empirical Analysis
Despite being the second largest oil exporter in Africa, Angola continues to lag behind in most macroeconomic and institutional indicators. At least partially, this is a consequence of the Dutch disease, a phenomenon that establishes a clear link between high resource endowments and lack of economic diversity through the loss of international competitiveness in non-resource sectors. In this paper, we use a nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) model to identify the cointegrated relationship between international oil prices and the real effective exchange rate of the kwanza, which is...

Despite being the second largest oil exporter in Africa, Angola continues to lag behind in most macroeconomic and institutional indicators. At least partially, this is a consequence of the Dutch disease, a phenomenon that establishes a clear link between high resource endowments and lack of economic diversity through the loss of international competitiveness in non-resource sectors. In this paper, we use a nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) model to identify the cointegrated relationship between international oil prices and the real effective exchange rate of the kwanza, which is a striking sign of the presence of the Dutch disease.
