          Abstract

          This document aims to introduce a total productivity index to measure the economic sustainability of the mining industry. This index will take into account any technical developments, means of use of productive factors (i.e. inefficiencies and scale effects) and the effects on the growth of the geological properties in the resources to be exploited (particularly the effects of resource reduction or reserves depletion). This new index will then be applied to the example of the Spanish mining industry, with some interesting findings regarding the configuration of sustainable mining policies.

          En este trabajo se propone un índice de productividad total para medir la sostenibilidad económica en las industrias mineras. En este índice se tiene en cuenta los avances técnicos, el modo de utilización de los factores productivos (ineficiencias y efectos de escala) y los efectos sobre el crecimiento de los cambios en las características geológicas de los recursos a extraer (en particular, los efectos de la reducción de recursos o agotamiento de reservas). Este nuevo índice lo aplicamos al caso de le la minería española, deduciendo de los resultados interesantes conclusiones en cuanto a la configuración de una política minera sostenible.
