Given the increasing importance of the mining sector in developing countries, an understanding of their level of environmental efficiency is useful, both to the industry itself and to policymakers. Environmental problems introduced by the sector are attracting extensive attention, so...

This study evaluates the environmental performance of large gold-mining operations by applying a by-production model that specifies emission-generating technology, while incorporating a four-way error approach that captures mine-size heterogeneity, transient and persistent technical efficiency,...
