“…A recent literature on the local and subnational effects of natural resources contributes to the understanding of such effects (for example Rud 2013, 2015;Axbard et al, 2016;Benshaul-Tolonen 2018 Wilson 2012). A growing number of papers explore the mining industry, in particular, see Aragón, Chuhan-Pole, and Land (2015) for an overview. We contribute to this literature by showing the importance of analyzing local level effects in addition to district level effects in a one-country case study.…”

“…In the absence of strong institutions, resource rents may foster rent-seeking behavior, increase corruption, erode the quality of institutions, and, in extreme cases, even generate violent conflict. Aragón, Chuhan-Pole, and Land (2015) identify at least five political economy channels in the literature through which resources can hinder economic growth and welfare. First, resource abundance may increase rent seeking-for example, the appropriation of resource rents via production taxes or other transfers-and reduce net return to investments, which lead to lower growth (Lane and Tornell 1996;Tornell and Lane 1999).…”

“…In contrast to the country-level literature, the empirical literature exploiting within-country variation is more recent and less developed. A growing number of studies are nevertheless expanding this literature, which is reviewed by Aragón, Chuhan-Pole, and Land (2015). Broadly, it focuses on the impact of resource abundance on growth, employment and local living standards, corruption and conflict, and pollution.…”

“…We also add to the recent growing literature on the local economic effects of natural resource wealth (e.g. Aragón and Rud, 2013;Caselli and Michaels, 2013;Fafchamps, et al, 2015;and Aragón, et al, 2015;and Chuhan-Pole, et al, 2015); in contrast to earlier cross-country studies on the resource curse (e.g. Sachs and Warner, 1995, 1997, 2001Gleason, Herbert son and Sega, 1999;Mehlum et al, 2006;Brunnschweiler, 2008;Chambers D, and Guo J, 2009;and Arezki and Van der Ploeg 2011).…”
