Mine infrastructure financing and the subsidy debate

David L. Anderson

Natural Resources Forum, 1990, vol. 14, issue 4, 271-279

Abstract: This paper examines the problems Inherent in identifying and measuring infrastructure‐related subsidies associated with ‘greenfield’ natural resource projects. The findings suggest that even if external benefits and costs are ignored, and a market‐oriented estimation process is adopted, substantial problems still face policy analysts attempting to measure the extent to which such projects have been subsidized. This conclusion is demonstrated through a detailed examination of the Canadian‐based North East British Columbia coal project.
