 crowding out of manufacturing

 rapid currency appreciation

inhibited institutional development

civil war

excessively rapid resource depletion "


dip shit solutions ??


" hedging export earnings  via the oil options market


counter-cyclical fiscal policy


 delegating sovereign wealth funds to professional managers"



"never been tried at all: "

"denominating bonds in oil prices instead of dollar
 to protect against the risk of a price decline "

(who'd buy em ??
speculators would use them as a   betters platform )

-------------------------------------------------------------
not sure what this mean

"choosing commodity-price targeting
as an alternative to
 inflation targeting or exchange-rate targeting
for anchoring monetary policy "

if i figure it out i'll append

-------------------------------------------------
at last one  state move
    that makes sense

" distributing oil revenues directly to the people  on a nationwide per capita basis "

i'd tie it to an earned dividend program
