Conclusions 327 $aReferences 330 $aAssuming a social welfare function that smoothes expenditure, this paper calculates a sustainability benchmark for the non-mineral balance in Botswana that is based on a notion of a ""permanent income"" from non-renewable resources. It is derived by constructing a hypothetical annuity from revenues from these resources, which is held constant in terms of GDP. Botswana is an interesting case because current projections suggest that diamond resources could be largely exhausted within a generation. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers 606 $aFiscal policy$zBotswana 606 $aRevenue$zBotswana 607 $aBotswana$xEconomic conditions$y1966- 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aFiscal policy 615 0$aRevenue 676 $a339.09689709049 700 $aClausen$b Jens R$0936184 701 $aCaramazza$b Francesco$0936185 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464012903321 996 $aCalculating sustainable non-mineral balances as benchmarks for fiscal policy$92108918 997 $aUNINA
