This study empirically investigates the dynamic relationships between mining revenue, government consumption, exchange rate and economic growth in Botswana.

The impulse response functions showed the positive and negative response to mining shocks while variance decomposition indicates that mining revenue defines the variability in economic growth and government consumption. The empirical results also suggest that mining revenue and exchange rate granger cause economic growth while government consumption is caused by mining revenue and ...
