Abstract
The principal task of this research is to define the degree of jointness between these coals, to separate production and long run capacities analytically, and to examine the independent performance of the metallurgical sector regionally. Finally the research draws policy implications for the long run by estimating future quantities and prices for mined and delivered coals at principal steel producing centers that might obtain under competitive assumptions.
