Natural Resources and Political Patronage in Africa: An Ethnicity Level Analysis

Review of Development Economics, Volume 30, Issue 3, Page 1957-1972, August 2026.
ABSTRACT We investigate the effect of resource discoveries on ethnicity‐level political patronage in Africa using a large geospatial dataset of 254 ethnic groups in 15 countries over the period 1960–2004. We find that the first (or single first) resource discovery in a virgin ethnic homeland increases the share of cabinet posts of that ethnicity.
