The book discusses methods and statistical techniques that can be used to analyze spatial patterns in geographic populations. These techniques incorporate ideas from fractal geometry to develMethods in ecology.Population biologyBiogeographyBiodiversityPopulation biology.Biogeography.Biodiversity.304.6574.5248Maurer Brian A531342MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910954235603321Geographical population analysis898900UNINA05789oam 22007695 450 991095448960332120240404205440.09781464802409146480240810.1596/978-1-4648-0239-3(CKB)2550000001314043(EBL)1707276(SSID)ssj0001294403(PQKBManifestationID)11770024(PQKBTitleCode)TC0001294403(PQKBWorkID)11316890(PQKB)11511826(MiAaPQ)EBC1707276(Au-PeEL)EBL1707276(CaPaEBR)ebr10880272(CaONFJC)MIL617232(OCoLC)881367421(OCoLC)ocn889803334(US-djbf)18315675(Perlego)1484065(EXLCZ)99255000000131404320140925d2014 uy 0engurcn|||||||||txtrdacontentnrdamediancrdacarrierResource financed infrastructure a discussion on a new form of infrastructure financing /Havard Halland, John Beardsworth, Bryan Land, and James Schmidt ; with comments by Paul Collier, Alan Gelb, Justin Yifu Lin and Yan Wang, Clare Short, Louis Wells1st ed.Washington, DC :International Bank for Reconstruction and Development / The World Bank,2014.20141 online resource (xv, 89 pages)illustrations (some color) ;26 cmWorld Bank StudiesDescription based upon print version of record.9781464802393 1464802394 9781306859813 1306859816 Includes bibliographical references.Front Cover; Contents; Acknowledgments; About the Authors; About the Commentators; Abbreviations; Part 1 Key Perspectives; Overview; Scope and Focus; RFI Essentials; RFI Debated; Criticism and Risks; Part 2 Resource Financed Infrastructure: Origins and Issues; Chapter 1 Introduction; Boxes; Box 1.1 In a Word; Chapter 2 The Origins of the Resource Financed Infrastructure Model; Traditional Resource Development Model; Box 2.1 The Investor; Figures; Figure 2.1 Example of a Traditional Resource Development Model; Box 2.2 Dual Role Risks; Tables; Table 2.1 Traditional Resource Development ModelTraditional Government Infrastructure Purchasing Model Figure 2.2 Example of a Traditional Government Infrastructure Purchasing Model; Project Finance Model; Table 2.2 Traditional Government Infrastructure Purchasing Model; Figure 2.3 Example of a Project Finance Model; Public-Private Partnership Model; Table 2.3 Project Finance Model; Figure 2.4 Example of a Public-Private Partnership Model; Table 2.4 Public-Private Partnership Model; Mind the Gaps; Chapter 3 Resource.

Wells; Back CoverIn recent decades, resource-rich developing countries have been using their natural resources as collateral to access sources of finance for investment, countervailing the barriers they face when accessing conventional bank lending and capital markets. One of the financing models that have emerged as a result is the Resource Financed Infrastructure (RFI) model, a derivation of previous oil-backed lending models pioneered by several Western banks in Africa. Under a Resource Financed Infrastructure (RFI) arrangement, a loan for current infrastructure construction is securitized against the netWorld Bank e-Library.Infrastructure (Economics)Infrastructure (Economics)332.042Halland Havard1171143Halland HåvardCollier PaulEdwards SamNaylor DebraMIAMIANTDDLCBOOK9910954489603321Resource financed infrastructure4363272UNINA
