The Economics of the Copper Price Boom in Zambia

Abstract

Ever since the discovery of extensive copper reserves in the 1920s, the same challenge continues to confront Zambia: how to convert this natural wealth into an equitably distributed and sustainable flow of resources to the citizens of the country. This raises questions of how to support employment and growth in the non-mineral economy and how to do so without destroying the incentives for mining exploration and production. 2 These are profoundly difficult challenges. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
