{"product_id":"mining-and-development-von-yoshitaka-hosoi","title":"Mining and Development","description":"\u003cp\u003eThese days, it is unusual for academic analysts to  recommend investment in mining as a desirable means  for economic development. Critics of mining point to  its possible negative social, economic and  environmental impacts in developing countries. It is  possible for negative impacts to occur but its  environmental costs are often outweighed by economic  gains. These issues are discussed in this book by  focusing on the proposed development of the Namosi  mine in Fiji. The development of the Namosi mine  could make a significant contribution to Fiji''s  economic growth. The extent and nature of the  contribution is assessed. The environmental costs of  the project are estimated and compared with the  economic gains. It is argued that the economic gain  is likely to outweigh the environmental cost  associated with the mining project. A variety of  techniques are used to conduct the assessment. These  include CB analysis, I-O analysis and CGE modeling. This in-depth contribution will be valuable reading  for development economists, resource and  environmental economist, government policy-makers as  well as those interested in mining development  generally.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv class=\"aw-variant-hidden-subtitle-div\" id=\"aw-variant-subtitle-9783838325101\"\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA Case Study Assessing National Economic and Environmental Issues\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Autorenwelt Shop","offers":[{"title":"Softcover - 9783838325101","offer_id":39498877993053,"sku":"9783838325101","price":79.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0940\/0622\/files\/79c767a3-0548-4f5e-8160-ad76128ad068.jpg?v=1776056680","url":"https:\/\/shop.autorenwelt.de\/products\/mining-and-development-von-yoshitaka-hosoi","provider":"Autorenwelt Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
