Rick Van Der Ploeg works on the economics of countries that have a lot of natural resources. In this video he discusses why Norway's model of investing oil revenue into a sovereign wealth fund is not appropriate for developing countries. For developing countries oil, gas and mineral revenue is a once in a lifetime opportunity to invest in their own economies.
