Extract

Investments in natural resources usually are for the expressed purposes of conserving, developing, or managing the nation's supply of soil, water, timber, minerals, and marine resources. Many public investment programs in natural resources have also contained explicit development objectives. Any explanation of employment and income changes occurring within a region requires analysis of many interacting variables because the effects of natural resource investments may be masked by counteractions.
