This paper develops a dynamic stochastic small open economy model to analyze the macroeconomic effects of investing natural resource revenues, making explicit the role of pervasive features in these countries including public investment inefficiency, absorptive capacity constraints, Dutch disease, and financing needs to sustain capital. Revenue exhaustibility raises medium-term issues of how to sustain capital built during a windfall, while revenue volatility raises short-term concerns about macroeconomic instability. Using the model, country applications show how combining public investment with a resource fund---a sustainable investing approach---can help address the macroeconomic problems associated with both exhaustibility and volatility. The applications also demonstrate how the model can be used to determine the appropriate magnitude of the investment scaling-up (accounting for the financing needs to sustain capital) and the adequate size of a stabilization fund (buffer).IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2012/274Public investmentsDeveloping countriesFinanceEconometric modelsNatural resourcesDeveloping countriesMacroeconomicsimfPublic FinanceimfTaxationimfExhaustible Resources and Economic DevelopmentimfInvestmentimfCapitalimfIntangible CapitalimfCapacityimfEconomic Growth of Open EconomiesimfOne, Two, and Multisector Growth ModelsimfNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: InfrastructuresimfOther Public Investment and Capital StockimfMacroeconomics: ConsumptionimfSavingimfWealthimfBusiness Taxes and SubsidiesimfNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: GeneralimfPublic finance & taxationimfPublic investment spendingimfConsumption taxesimfConsumptionimfPrivate consumptionimfExpenditureimfTaxesimfNational accountsimfPublic investmentsimfEconomicsimfSpendings taximfExpenditures, PublicimfAngolaimfPublic investmentsFinanceEconometric models.Natural resourcesMacroeconomicsPublic FinanceTaxationExhaustible Resources and Economic DevelopmentInvestmentCapitalIntangible CapitalCapacityEconomic Growth of Open EconomiesOne, Two, and Multisector Growth ModelsNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: InfrastructuresOther Public Investment and Capital StockMacroeconomics: ConsumptionSavingWealthBusiness Taxes and SubsidiesNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: GeneralPublic finance & taxationPublic investment spendingConsumption taxesConsumptionPrivate consumptionExpenditureTaxesNational accountsPublic investmentsEconomicsSpendings taxExpenditures, PublicBerg Andrew1462104Portillo Rafael1481167Yang Susan1481159Zanna Luis-Felipe1481168International Monetary Fund.Research Dept.DcWaIMFBOOK9910779594603321Public Investment in Resource-Abundant Developing Countries3804914UNINA
