This edition of Economics of the Mineral Industries is completely rewritten to address the state of the mineral sectors and of mineral economic principles as of 1984. Since the 3rd edition was written in the early 1970s there have been major changes both in the structure of these industries and in the tools of analysis of them, as well as in public policy. This edition has three objectives: (1) to provide a book suitable for use in a wide variety of courses at universities and colleges; (2) to provide AIME members with a reference to which they can turn for an understanding of the principles and applications of economics, geostatistics, modeling, and other analytical techniques to the mineral industries; and (3) to provide an objective review of the public policy issues concerning minerals that the US faces. The book is divided into five parts: Minerals and the Economy; Principles of Mineral Economics; Mineral Industry Analysis; Structure and Performance of the Major Mineral Sectors; Public Policy and the Mineral Industries. There are 19 chapters or subchapters in the five sections.
