Mozambique—bust before boom: Reflections on investment surges and new gas

Author

Listed:
  • Alan R. Roe

Abstract

This paper is a sequel to an earlier paper that looked in broad terms at many of the issues that Mozambique faces today in managing its new extractive resources. The paper first describes the investment surge that has already been prompted by new gas discoveries in Mozambique. It then summarizes some of the more recent literature that has examined the effects of such surges in other country contexts.
