BERUMEN, Sergio A.. The Impact of the Crisis on the Economic Development of Mining Regions in Europe. Prob. Des [online]. 2014, vol.45, n.176, pp.83-106. ISSN 0301-7036.

This work studies the effect of the crisis on the economic development of mining regions in European Union (EU) member countries where activities in this sector have been key to development. The methodological approach consisted of identifying the evolution of four socioeconomic variables in three representative years (2000, 2008 and 2011): 1) Consumption, 2) Foreign direct investment, 3) Public spending and 4) Net exports. The analytic hierarchy process (AHP) was used to conduct this research study.
