Resumen
Descripción
This paper surveys aspects of the empirical and theoretical debate over the effects of foreign
resource inflows on the national saving, investment, and growth of developing countries. The
paper suggests a methodology for systematically studying the effects of resource inflows, based
on standard optimal growth models modified for consistency with key empirical macro
relations. A fairly robust normative implication even of representative-agent optimal
consumption models is that much if not most of extra permanent resources should be consumed
rather than invested.
