Highlights:
We analyze the asymmetric nexus between resource rents and economic growth.
Nonlinear cointegration exists between resource rents, trade openness and growth.
The Nonlinear ARDL and nonparametric causality aproach is applied.
Resource rents does not Granger cause economic growth in most countries.
Heterogeneous results from asymmetric effects confirm resource curse and blessing.
