Exploring the U.S. mining industry's demand system for production factors: Implications for economic sustainability

TL;DR: In this article, the authors conducted a dynamic analysis of the U.S. mining industry's input demand system and employed the dynamic linear logit model to examine how the dynamic adjustment occurs in the mining industry and investigates the relationships among primary inputs used for mining production.

Resource and output trends in the United States since 1870

TL;DR: In this paper, a very brief treatment of three questions relating to the history of our economic growth since the Civil War is given, namely: (1) How large has been the net increase of aggregate output per capita, and to what extent has this increase been obtained as a result of greater labor or capital input on the one hand and of a rise in productivity on the other? (2) Is there evidence of retardation, or conceivably acceleration, in the growth of per capita output? (3) Have there been fluctuations in the rate of growth of output, apart
