9781464808197 - Mining in Africa: Are Local Communities Better Off? (Africa Development Forum) de Chuhan-Pole, Punam; Dabalen, Andrew L; Land, Bryan Christopher (17 resultados)

Paperback. Condición: new. Paperback. The study begins by laying out a simple framework of the potential channels through which extractive activity affects local livelihoods and communities. It then applies this framework to a single extractive sector - large-scale gold mining - in three African countries: Ghana, Mali, and Tanzania. Results suggest that mining communities on average experience positive but limited welfare benefits. The study delineates three broad channels - market, fiscal, and environmental - through which local areas and regions may be affected, and informs public policy and corporate behavior on the welfare of communities situated close to extraction sites and the opportunities that mining can offer them Focuses on the local and regional impact of large-scale gold mining in Africa in the context of a mineral boom in the region since 2000. It contributes to filling a gap in the literature on the welfare effects of mineral resources, which, until now, has concentrated more on the national or macroeconomic impacts Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.

Paperback. Condición: New. This study focuses on the local and regional impact of large-scale gold mining in Africa in the context of a mineral boom in the region since 2000. It contributes to filling a gap in the literature on the welfare effects of mineral resources, which, until now, has concentrated more on the national or macroeconomic impacts. Economists have long been intrigued by the paradox that a rich endowment of natural resources may retard economic performance, particularly in the case of mineral-exporting developing countries. Studies of this phenomenon, known as the "resource curse," examine the economy-wide consequences of mineral exports.Africa's resource boom has lifted growth, but has been less successful in improving people's welfare. Yet much of the focus in academic and policy circles has been on appropriate management of the macro-fiscal and governance risks that have historically undermined development outcomes. This study focuses instead on the fortune of local communities where resources are located. It aims to better inform public policy and corporate behavior on the welfare of communities in Africa in which the extraction of resources takes place.
