abstract = {This paper extends the growing literature on knowledge economy by investigating the effect
of intelligence on economic diversification. Using a battery of estimation techniques that are
robust to endogeneity, we find that human capital has positive correlations with export
diversification, manufactured added value and export manufactures. This empirical evidence
is based on a world sample for the year 2010. The findings have significant implications for
the fight against the Dutch disease. In essence, investing in human capital could bring
economic diversity and therefore dampen negative external shocks related to resourcedependence.
Other knowledge-economy implications are discussed.},
