Abstract:	"A common problem in developing and transitioning countries is how to transform natural resources or other existing assets into productive ones when there is a lack of domestic real and financial resources to do so. Traditionally, this has been dealt with through a variety of policies including the licensing of foreign firms (e.g., in mining and other extractive industries), giving easements especially to international nonprofit corporations (the development of the rainforest), by the charging of user fees (waterways and airways) and by privatizing the assets and auctioning stocks in them to citizens as was common in the transition of former Soviet States."
