| Popis: | The impact of industrial mining and artisanal and small-scale mining (ASM) on poverty is generally analyzed at local level, with very little consideration of the impact on the regional level. The multi-level and multidimensional nature of the phenomenon of poverty requires a multifaceted analysis. The aim of this work is to analyze the impact of ASM and industrial mining on poverty at the regional level in Burkina Faso for the period 2003–2014. The econometric results indicate that neither ASM nor industrial mining has a significant effect on the incidence of poverty at regional level. In addition, the effect of industrial mining on access to basic services is insignificant. However, the results reveal that mining conflicts increase the incidence of poverty as well as the rate of access to improved water services. The positive relationship between mining conflicts and water services suggests that providing socioeconomic infrastructures to communities is a requirement to prevent mining conflicts. |
