I've been deeply interested in this issue for years, and my impression is that IQ just isn't that strong a lens of analysis. It's incredibly difficult to prove which way the causality goes.
A quick example of this: There has yet to be an IQ test (that I'm aware of) that participants can't increase their score in by studying/practicing. This implies that groups with higher IQs may just be unintentionally 'studying' for IQ tests in their education/environment, putting the ball back in the socioeconomic/environmental factors court.
The validity of IQ itself remains a hotly debated topic, let alone how that might affect the development of nations. You're much more likely to be productive as a researcher of this topic, I think, by leaving IQ out. Just like this article, and these comments.

One of the architects of the Pentium Pro, Intel’s first out-of-order execution engine, told of walking up to a Coke machine with an “out of order” sign on it — “Oh, out-of-order has other meanings.”
Why can't the server inherit the clipboard from the program being shut down?
(unless the program crashes, it should go through the "official motions" and one of them should be notifying the server which then can request the clipboard. this should be done early in the shutdown process, of course)
They are not hoarding anything people need (like food or clothing).
They are not even hoarding anything people don't need (like gold or diamonds).
The "money" (they don't hoard cash either) they accumulate is _investment_ which translates into _power_ to change the world.
Then he appears to be running around without the sword.
Why?!
PS. I understand that he is somewhat of a moron, but leaving an excellent weapon behind and running around unarmed goes far beyond common stupidity.
