Too Much of a Good Thing

Book Description
We document that oil-producing areas of Brazil experienced increases in crime during the period of increased economic growth driven by the 2000s oil boom. This challenges the understanding that the impact of income shocks on crime is driven primarily by the legal status of the market in question. Offshore oil production, refining, and distribution in Brazil are concentrated in large firms, without scope for income contestability. We show that various equilibrium effects of the shock - such as increased inequality, urbanization, illegal goods presence, and deterioration in public goods provision - are likely to have contributed to the increase in crime.

Book Description
After Uganda enjoyed two decades of strong growth and poverty reduction in the 1990s and early 2000s, its economy slowed down, and social progress decelerated amid a steady increase of the population. Several constraints continue to undermine progress and social and economic transformation in Uganda. The start-up of oil production and revenues has the potential to accelerate growth by addressing some of the constraints to economic transformation, but it has to be managed well. Actual revenues from oil will depend on levels of production and international oil, with significant impact on government revenue, exports, and investmentsMaximizing the benefits from oil revenues requires maximizing efficiency across the entire revenue chain. Several analytical and technical assistance programs have recommended specific reforms to help Uganda maximize the dividends from its oil. This paper reassesses the adequacy of Uganda's public finance systems in providing an appropriate fiscal framework for determining spending as well as setting aside and managing savings for future generations. The rest of the paper is organized in three sections. Section 2 provides an update on the state of development of Uganda's oil sector. Section 3 discusses the current fiscal framework and what would need to be adjusted before the oil revenue starts flowing. Section 4 delves into the institutional design and operational management of the petroleum revenue investment reserve, and how it could be turned into a genuine SWF for Uganda.

When Can Oil Economies Be Deemed Sustainable?
Author: Giacomo LucianiPublisher: Springer Nature
ISBN: 9811557284
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 365
Book Description
This open access book questions the stereotype depicting all Gulf (GCC) economies as not sustainable, and starts a critical discussion of what these economies and polities should do to guarantee themselves a relatively stable future. Volatile international oil markets and the acceleration of the energy transition has challenged the notion that oil revenues are sufficient to sustain oil economies in the near to medium term. But what is the meaning of economic sustainability? The book discusses the multiple dimensions of the concept: economic diversification, continuing value of resources, taxation and fiscal development, labor market sustainability, sustainable income distribution, environmental sustainability, political order (democracy or authoritarianism) and sustainability, regional integration. The overarching message in this book is that we should move on from the simplistic branding of the Gulf economies as unsustainable and tackle the details of which adaptations they might need to undertake.
Oil to Cash

Pages : 190
Book Description
Oil to Cash explores one option to help countries with new oil revenue avoid the so-called resource curse: just give the money directly to citizens. A universal, transparent, and regular cash transfer would not only provide a concrete benefit to regular people, but would also create powerful incentives for citizens to hold their government accountable. Oil to Cash details how and where this idea could work and how policymakers can learn from the experiences with cash transfers in places like Mexico, Mongolia, and Alaska.
