Economic Development and Viability Firms in European Mining Regions

Sergio Berumen and Francisco Llamazares-Redondo

Regional and Sectoral Economic Studies, 2014, vol. 14, issue 1, 33-46

Abstract: This work has the aim of knowing the situation in which the regions and the coal firms are in Europe – a very relevant issue since on December 31, 2018, all the EU and State mining aids will be suppressed. Specifically, it proposes a socioeconomic rank of the regions, and it also builds a rank which identifies: i) the will of the firms to start processes of industrial reconversion; ii) the internationalization of at least one part of the processes; and iii), to know which are the regions that, given the circumstances, are most likely destined to disappear.
