Abstract
This paper is concerned with an economic phenomenon known as ‘Dutch Disease’: an economy’s manufacturing sector declines as a result of a resource boom. We look into related supply-side aspects which appear to be significant if seen from the viewpoint of microeconomic general equilibrium theory. Several comparative-statics results will be presented for the case of a small open economy. We also briefly discuss welfare implications in terms of changes in income distribution and GNP.
