MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: Channabasavaiah and Naidu (2021) provide a useful summary of economic statistics on mining in India, based on several public sources at the national and state levels. They show how to aggregate information across sources to give a more accurate picture. This article presents additional calculations using their survey data in new ways. I present methods to estimate the labour share of income associated with mining and further discuss multiplier effects on GDP from mine workers' labour income. It is essential to coordinate data collection and disclosure across different levels of government to improve financial statistics and provide the best possible information to global audiences, especially as new funding models for infrastructure and mining projects emerge.
