This paper talks about how oil and gas resources impact Russia's economy. It looks at changes over time in how these resources are used and distributed. The study finds that oil profits have gone up and down a lot in the last 35 years. It also discusses the rules about who owns the resources and how that affects how quickly they are used up. The authors check how sharing the money made from these resources affects how long they can keep being used. They wrap up by suggesting better ways to organize the energy industry for the future.
