### Summary and objective

- Context: revisits the debate on the design of fiscal rules in resource-rich countries.

### Contributions and key findings

  - emphasize insurance against shocks;
  - reduce reliance on precise estimates of resource wealth.
- Emphasis on country-specific characteristics in assessing and designing fiscal rules.
