The Effect of the Mining Boom on the Australian Economy

Peter Tulip

RBA Bulletin (Print copy discontinued), 2014, 17-22

Abstract: This article presents estimates of the effects of the mining boom using a macroeconometric model of the Australian economy. The mining boom is estimated to have boosted real per capita household disposable income by 13 per cent over the decade to 2013. The boom contributed to a large appreciation of the Australian dollar that has weighed on other industries exposed to trade, such as manufacturing and agriculture.
