Conclusions 327 $aReferences 330 3 $aAssuming a social welfare function that smoothes expenditure, this paper calculates a sustainability benchmark for the non-mineral balance in Botswana that is based on a notion of a "permanent income" from non-renewable resources. It is derived by constructing a hypothetical annuity from revenues from these resources, which is held constant in terms of GDP. Botswana is an interesting case because current projections suggest that diamond resources could be largely exhausted within a generation. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2008/117 606 $aFiscal policy$zBotswana 606 $aRevenue$zBotswana 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aPublic Finance$2imf 606 $aNatural Resources$2imf 606 $aNonrenewable Resources and Conservation: General$2imf 606 $aFiscal Policy$2imf 606 $aPersonal Income, Wealth, and Their Distributions$2imf 606 $aAgricultural and Natural Resource Economics$2imf 606 $aEnvironmental and Ecological Economics: General$2imf 606 $aEnvironmental management$2imf 606 $aNon-renewable resources$2imf 606 $aFiscal policy$2imf 606 $aFiscal stance$2imf 606 $aPersonal income$2imf 606 $aNatural resources$2imf 606 $aIncome$2imf 607 $aBotswana$xEconomic conditions$y1966- 607 $aBotswana$2imf 615 0$aFiscal policy 615 0$aRevenue 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aPublic Finance 615 7$aNatural Resources 615 7$aNonrenewable Resources and Conservation: General 615 7$aFiscal Policy 615 7$aPersonal Income, Wealth, and Their Distributions 615 7$aAgricultural and Natural Resource Economics 615 7$aEnvironmental and Ecological Economics: General 615 7$aEnvironmental management 615 7$aNon-renewable resources 615 7$aFiscal policy 615 7$aFiscal stance 615 7$aPersonal income 615 7$aNatural resources 615 7$aIncome 676 $a339.09689709049 700 $aClausen$b Jens$01485210 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788238403321 996 $aCalculating Sustainable Non-mineral Balances as Benchmarks for Fiscal Policy$93704213 997 $aUNINA
