INVESTMENT IN THE COPPER INDUSTRY: NEEDS AND POLICIES

Joseph J F. Shaw

Natural Resources Forum, 1978, vol. 2, issue 2, 101-119

Abstract: Investment required in the copper industries of the market economies over the period 1977‐90 is estimated. The estimation methodology involves projection of copper consumption in the developed market economies, developing economies, and centrally planned economies. For the market group as a whole, consumption projections lead to required incremental capacity estimates and finally to required investment figures. (Pollution abatement costs and exploration requirements are also included). The sensitivity of investment requirements to major determining factors is investigated. Finally, the broader question of appropriate intergovernmental policies to influence the geographic allocation of minerals investment ‐ including copper investment ‐ is considered.
