CONCLUDING REMARKS AND FUTURE RESEARCH AGENDA""; ""References"" 330 3 $aWhile models based on Friedman's (1957) permanent-income hypothesis can provide oilproducing countries with long-run fiscal targets, they usually abstract from short-run costs associated with consolidation. This paper proposes a model that takes such adjustment costs (or "habits") into account. Further operational realism is added by permitting differential interest rates on sovereign debt and financial assets. The approach is applied to Gabon, where oil reserves are expected to be exhausted in 30 years. The results suggest that Gabon's current fiscal-policy stance cannot be maintained, while the presence of habits justifies smoothing the bulk of the adjustment toward the sustainable level over three to five years. 410 0$aIMF Working Papers; Working Paper ;$vNo. 2006/193 606 $aNatural resources$zGabon 606 $aFiscal policy$zGabon 606 $aInvestments: Energy$2imf 606 $aMacroeconomics$2imf 606 $aPublic Finance$2imf 606 $aTaxation$2imf 606 $aEnergy: General$2imf 606 $aBusiness Taxes and Subsidies$2imf 606 $aNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: General$2imf 606 $aFiscal Policy$2imf 606 $aEnergy: Demand and Supply$2imf 606 $aPrices$2imf 606 $aPublic finance & taxation$2imf 606 $aInvestment & securities$2imf 606 $aOil$2imf 606 $aOil, gas and mining taxes$2imf 606 $aExpenditure$2imf 606 $aFiscal policy$2imf 606 $aOil prices$2imf 606 $aPetroleum industry and trade$2imf 606 $aExpenditures, Public$2imf 607 $aGabon$2imf 615 0$aNatural resources 615 0$aFiscal policy 615 7$aInvestments: Energy 615 7$aMacroeconomics 615 7$aPublic Finance 615 7$aTaxation 615 7$aEnergy: General 615 7$aBusiness Taxes and Subsidies 615 7$aNational Government Expenditures and Related Policies: General 615 7$aFiscal Policy 615 7$aEnergy: Demand and Supply 615 7$aPrices 615 7$aPublic finance & taxation 615 7$aInvestment & securities 615 7$aOil 615 7$aOil, gas and mining taxes 615 7$aExpenditure 615 7$aFiscal policy 615 7$aOil prices 615 7$aPetroleum industry and trade 615 7$aExpenditures, Public 700 $aOlters$b Jan-Peter$01462092 701 $aLeigh$b Daniel$01462093 801 0$bDcWaIMF 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910788522103321 996 $aNatural-Resource Depletion, Habit Formation, and Sustainable Fiscal Policy$93670943 997 $aUNINA
