abstract: 'This paper studies the effects of mining intensity and presence on
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Peru''s mining districts'' welfare from 2004 to 2019. A pooled
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cross-section regression is used which is constructed from different
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
sources and two sets of comparisons are made: the first compare
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
districts with and without mining presence within mining provinces, and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the second compares districts with and without mining presence without
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the constraint of being within mining provinces. The primary dependent
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
variables included in the model are income inequality, labor income, and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
poverty rate. In mining districts, inequality has increased, but labor
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
income has increased, and poverty has decreased compared to non-mining
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
districts. However, once control for province-fixed effects and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
clustered by standard errors at the district level, the significance of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
inequality is lost, while the impacts on labor income and poverty
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
remain. The transmission mechanisms are human capital, employment, and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
redistributive policies. Also the mining presence has had positive
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
effects on labor income in other sectors such as construction and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
commerce; Finally, the labor incomes of unskilled workers increases but
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
not the labor incomes of skilled workers, and it has negatively impacted
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
informal employment.'
