RESUMO

This study s main objetive is to determine whether natural resources as consumer goods or factors of production, have economic value and how this value can be established. As a first step, a chronological revision of the existing literature on this issue was made, with a great number of studies found related, to a certain extent, to the topic of this thesis. Similarly, a revision of the main trends of economic thought was perfomed, aiming at identifying the author s ideas and at taking advantage of the existing methods related to the economic evaluation of natural resources. Next, an attempt was made to determine how to analyze and evaluate natural resource in relation to consumption, production and distribution, taking into account the static and dynamic aspects. Having these concerns in mind, the conclusion was the natural resources, when qualified as scarce goods, shold have an appropriate value so as to guarantee their best use and their conservation in the long run. Following these considerations, the last step was an attempt to formalize and set up methods to evaluate economically the main natural resources, taking into account and interpreting the available literature and, in some cases, makingproposals related to theses issues.
