Knowledge-Based Growth in Natural Resource Intensive Economies

Part of the book series: Palgrave Studies in Economic History ((PEHS))

  • 315 Accesses

Abstract

The purpose of this introductory chapter is twofold. First, the author presents a survey of the debate about growth in ‘natural resource–intensive economies’ and places herself in the literature. Rejecting the idea that natural resource industries are doomed to slow growth, the chapter shows that industries based on natural resource may have been highly innovative, knowledge-based, dynamic, and high-performing, historically as well as today. Second, the author discusses the literature about institutions, organisations and economic growth and sets the basis for the historical empirical approach of knowledge organisations aimed to develop knowledge for mining in Norway. Finally, the used concepts, the definitions, the sources, and the main questions are outlined.

    Norway has had small differences in income distribution according to UNDP Income Gini coefficient: Gini Coefficient. Retrieved from UNDP: http://hdr.undp.org/en/content/income-gini-coefficient [accessed 2 March 2017]. It measures the deviation of the distribution of income among individuals or households within a country from a perfectly equal distribution. A value of 0 represents absolute equality; a value of 100, absolute inequality.
