Administering Fiscal Regimes for Extract ive Industries: A Handbook

Effective administration of government tax revenues is essential if countries

are to enjoy the full benefit of their natural resources. This handbook explains

administrative challenges arising from natural resource revenues. It discusses

how natural resource fiscal regimes can be designed to meet appropriate policy

objectives without creating unnecessary administrative complexity. It also

provides a useful framework for both governments and their advisers to assess

and strengthen resource revenue administra tion.

Getting Energy Prices Right

edited by Ian W. H. Parry, Dirk Heine, Eliza Lis, and Shanjun Li

Energy taxes can produce substantial environmental and revenue benefits.

This book shows how the major environmental damages from energy can be

quantified for different countries and used to design an efficient set of energy

taxes. The results, which are illustrated for more than 150 countries, suggest

there is pervasive mispricing of energy acro ss developed and developing

countries alike. At a global level, implementing efficient energy prices would

reduce carbon emissions by an estimated 23 percent and fossil-fuel air pollution

deaths by 63 percent.

Energy Subsidy Reform: Lessons and Implications

edited by Benedict Clements, David Coady, Stefania Fabrizio, Sanjeev Gupta,

Trevor Alleyne, and Carlo Sdralevich

Energy subsidies have wide-ranging economic consequences. Although they are

aimed at protecting consumers, subsidies aggravate fiscal imbalances, crowd

out priority public spending, and depress private investment. This book provides

the most comprehensive estimates of energy subsidies currently available for

176 countries. It also presents an analysis of “how to do” energy subsidy reform,

drawing on insights from 22 country case studies undertaken by the IMF staff

and analyses carried out by other institutions.
