Maximum economic recovery of federal coal
Journal Article
·
· Energy J.; (United States)
The Department of Interior's coal leasing program includes a requirement that operators mining federal coal achieve maximum economic recovery (MER) of coal from federal leases. In this paper, an empirial analysis of the MER requirement is given. The emphasis of the analysis is exclusively on allocative efficiency. The question the authors attempt to answer is whether a selected MER rule would lead to equality between marginal social costs and marginal social benefits. 14 references, 3 figures, 3 tables.
