12 Shale gas Shale gas has become not only an energy exploration and production issue wherever it is or might be located, but also a macroeconomic issue for national economies, a microeconomic issue for energy intensive industry sectors, a global environmental issue for local communities, a public safety and health issue wherever there is exploration or production, and an energy independence and national security issue in countries that are dependent on oil imports and/or gas imports. 07/04/

13 Like labour and capital, natural resources are factors of production that serve as inputs in goods and services production. While there is a broad range of natural resources that could be discussed, the focus here will be on energy and, to a limited extent, on land and water, which are the natural resources typically included in aggregate production functions (for discussion of trade and a wider variety of natural resources, see the 2010 World Trade Report (WTO, 2010) and Ruta and Venables (2012). 07/04/
