Download or read book Natural Resource Revenue Sharing written by Andrew Bauer and published by . This book was released on 2016-09-05 with total page 116 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In nearly every country, subnational governments receive public funds, either through direct tax collection or through intergovernmental transfers. However, in more than 30 countries, distribution of non-renewable natural resource revenues to subnational authorities is governed by a set of rules that are distinct from the rules governing distribution of non-resource revenues. Resource revenue sharing is being touted as an answer to the 'resource curse' in several conflict-affected states, such as Iraq, Libya and Myanmar. But while these systems can promote economic development and help mitigate or even prevent violent conflict in resource-rich regions, they can also generate perverse incentives for transforming natural resource wealth into wellbeing. In some places, they have exacerbated boom-bust cycles and regional inequalities. Worse, depending on how they have been designed and implemented, they have intensified violent conflict rather than alleviating it.This report by the Natural Resource Governance Institute (NRGI) and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) gives an overview of resource revenue sharing mechanisms around the world and provides advice to policymakers establishing or reforming their systems.
