	SEMP - What is a Rentier State?
		The short answer, according to Yates (1), is that a rentier state and rentier economy lead to a rentier mentality, which dooms a country’s economy and long-term prospects.
		Beblawi and Luciani preferred the term “rentier economy” to rentier state, suggesting that the rentier state is really a subset of a rentier economy, and that the nature of the state is best examined primarily through its size relative to that economy and the sources and structures of its income.
		The economic behavior of a rentier is distinguished from conventional economic behavior ‘in that it embodies a break in the work-reward causation.’” (Yates, p.

	Rentier state - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A rentier state is a term in political science and international relations theory used to classify states who derive all or a substantial portion of their national revenues from the rent of indigenous resources to external clients.
		The term is most frequently applied to states rich in highly valued natural resources such as petroleum, however it could be applied to nations who trade on their strategic resources (such as permitting the development of an important military base in their territory) as well.
		While many states export resources or license their development by foreign parties, rentier states are characterized by the relative absence of revenue from domestic taxation, as their naturally-occurring wealth precludes the need to extract income from their citizenry.

	Ahmet Kuru* The Rentier State Model and Central Asian Studies: The Turkmen Case
		Second, Luciani argues that a rentier state 'does not need to refer a national myth and, as a matter of fact, will usually avoiding so.' 'A national myth,' for Luciani, 'may be interpreted as a basis to claim a say'(17) for the sections of the population that are excluded from the allocation process.
		The rentier state policies of Turkmen state (e.g., free electricity, water, and natural gas supplies) based on natural gas income, instead of the tax of the citizens, consolidate this uneven relation between the state and the society.
		Similarly, the rentier state structure shapes Turkmen outlook toward the regional integration in Central Asia and encouraged the declaration of the neutrality status.

	Ciao!: Bolivia as "rentier state"?

		In fact this "rentier state" effect is beginning to manifest itself in what are commonly thought of as some of wealthiest regions of the world.
		A loose definition of a rentier state is one where significant amounts of oil/mineral royalties (rents) accrue directly to the state and where only a few are engaged in the generation of this rent (wealth), the majority being only involved in the distribution or utilization of it.

		The basic premise of the rentier state model is that rentier state leaders, by relying on ‘unearned” income (in the form of mineral rents and/or aid), do not develop a set of reciprocal obligations with citizens via the nexus of domestic taxation.
		The main premise of the rentier state model of governance is that when states gain a large proportion of their revenues from external sources, such as resource rents, the reduced necessity of state decision-makers to levy domestic taxes causes leaders to be less accountable to individuals and groups within civil society.
		The core argument is that contemporary rentier states, by relying on ‘unearned” income, do not develop a set of reciprocal obligations with citizens via the nexus of domestic taxation.

	Rentier state - dKosopedia
		A rentier state is a regimes that depend on the collection of economic rents in the form of revenues from non-renewable natural resources, exploitation of tourism, economic aid from other states and corruption.
		Such regimes are much freer to be authoritarian because they do not rely on taxation levied on their citizens.
		Saudi Arabia, which depends on oil revenues and the spending of religious pilgrims to Mecca, is a classic and perhaps the ultimate rentier state.

	Trends In The Rentier Income Share In OECD Countries, 1960-2000
		We define rentier share to mean the income accruing to financial institutions and the holders of financial assets.
		Overall we find that the rentier share of income rose in most countries between the 1960's and 1970's on the one hand, and the 1980's and 1990's, on the other.
		At the same time, movements in rentier income over this period vary from country to country, and are quite variable over time.

	Rentier Incomes and Financial Crises: An Empirical Examination of Trends and Cycles in Some OECD Countries
		We present new estimates of the rentier share of national income for OECD countries for the years between 1960 and 2000.
		For most countries, the rentier share of income significantly increased during the last several decades, starting in the early 1980's and coinciding with the shift to neo-liberal monetary and financial policies initiated by Margaret Thatcher and Paul Volcker.
		These findings are consistent with the view that financial liberalization has been associated with the increased power of an international rentier class, whose interests are aligned with those of non-financial corporations in the richer countries, but whose interests conflict with rentiers in developing countries that experience financial crises.

		In this new paperback edition Ismael revises and updates her 1982 book (originally published with the subtitle Social Change in Historical Perspective), which was the first work to examine the dynamics of class relations in pre- and post-oil Kuwait.
		Describing transformations in the world oil economy in the 1980s, Ismael adds a new section to chronicle changes in the political economy of the Gulf that threatened the superstructure of the region (constituted of absolute monarchies in rentier states).
		She sees Iraq's invasion of Kuwait as part of the larger political reality in the Gulf: change in the region will be forestalled by Western industrial powers at any price.

	Rentier (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		In the depths of the Great Depression, John Maynard Keynes prophesied the ‘euthanasia of the rentier.’ By this he meant that in a highly developed economy capital would be plentiful, interest rates would stabilize at very low levels, and the income of the rentier would fall accordingly.
		Clearly Keynes welcomed the prospect as a means of "getting rid of many of the objectionable features of capitalism." "Interest," he wrote, ‘rewards no genuine sacrifice." When capital is scarce, interest is needed to convert savings into investment.
		The rentier class, far from passing quietly into oblivion, has flourished, and insists on an even larger dividend from the economy.
