Teised raamatud teemal:
This edited collection of fourteen papers on natural resource management examines a range of issues facing extractive industries and resource rich nations in the wake of the recent financial crisis, and explores the nexus of economic, political and social concerns in the natural resources marketplace. The work is divided into sections covering commodity markets and the macro-economy, economic diversification, fiscal policies, exchange rates and financial stability, and resource governance and institutional reform. Chapters provide overviews, data tables and individual notes and references. Contributors include economists from the IMF as well as a variety of national and international institutions dealing with natural resource management.
