CONCLUSION""; ""REFERENCES""Botswana is typical of the countries that are endowed with abundant natural resources. Although it is commonly accepted that resource-rich economies tend to fail in accelerating growth, Botswana has experienced the most remarkable economic performance in the region. Using the latest cross-country data, this study empirically readdresses the question of whether resource abundance can contribute to growth. It finds that governance determines the extent to which the growth effects of resource wealth can materialize. In developing countries in particular, the quality of regulation, such as the predictability of changes of regulations, and anticorruption policies, such as transparency and accountability in the public sector, are most important for effective natural resource management and growth.IMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;No. 2006/138Economic developmentBotswanaNatural resourcesBotswanaManagementAgricultural and Natural Resource EconomicsimfEconomic policyimfEmpirical Studies of TradeimfEnvironmental and Ecological Economics: GeneralimfEnvironmental managementimfExports and ImportsimfExportsimfInternational economicsimfNatural ResourcesimfNatural resourcesimfNon-renewable resourcesimfNonrenewable Resources and Conservation: GeneralimfNternational cooperationimfPublic finance & taxationimfPublic FinanceimfResource management in revenue administrationimfRevenueimfTaxation, Subsidies, and Revenue: GeneralimfTerms of tradeimfTrade: GeneralimfBotswanaimfEconomic developmentNatural resourcesManagement.Agricultural and Natural Resource EconomicsEconomic policyEmpirical Studies of TradeEnvironmental and Ecological Economics: GeneralEnvironmental managementExports and ImportsExportsInternational economicsNatural ResourcesNatural resourcesNon-renewable resourcesNonrenewable Resources and Conservation: GeneralNternational cooperationPublic finance & taxationPublic FinanceResource management in revenue administrationRevenueTaxation, Subsidies, and Revenue: GeneralTerms of tradeTrade: GeneralIimi Atsushi1806422International Monetary Fund.African Dept.DcWaIMFBOOK9910975147603321Did Botswana Escape from the Resource Curse4371125UNINA
