[Jeffrey Frankel](/people/jeffrey-frankel), a Faculty Fellow of the Harvard Environmental Economics Program, posted a blog titled [Escaping the Oil Curse](http://www.jeffrey-frankel.com/2011/12/15/escaping-the-oil-curse/) on December 15, 2011 which was reposted at the [*Bangkok Post*](http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/local/271030/how-producers-can-escape-the-curse-of-crude). Frankel discusses the importance of utilizing natural resources for long-term success, instead of falling into the trap of the short-term economic boom that many countries have suffered from in the past. Frankel goes on to explain the six major pitfalls that can afflict natural-resource exporters.
