Some resource-rich countries have succeeded in converting resource wealth into longterm and equitable economic development, while many others have not. Naturalresources have played a fundamental role in the growth of several industrializedeconomies, including Germany and the United Kingdom, where coal and iron ore depositswere a precondition for the Industrial Revolution. The United States was the world’sleading mineral economy from the mid-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century and in thesame period became the world’s leader in manufacturing (van der Ploeg 2011). Morerecently, countries such as Botswana, Chile, and Norway have used abundant oil andmineral resources as the foundation for economic growth. However, in many othercountries, resource extraction appears to have undermined governance, fed corruptionand capital flight, and increased inequality.Required:(a) Discuss the main challenges posed by resource revenues; and(b) Discuss the special fiscal institutions and mechanisms…
