Using systems modelling to examine the relationship between environmental policy and mining company decision making
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents a system dynamics model that allows the user to examine the effects of changes in host government minerals policy on the investment and operating decisions of mining firms. The emphasis throughout the model simulations is on the effects of environmental policy because of the significant effect it has on international mining. The model, comprising over 180 interrelated variables, provides a means of examining the effectiveness of varied environmental, fiscal and corporate policies on the flow of investment funds and mineral resources between a number of simulated mining firms and competing countries.
