When petroleum revenue transparency policy meets citizen engagement reality
Opportunities and risks of small-scale and artisanal gold mining for local communities
The surge in artisanal and small-scale gold mining (ASGM) has led to negative environmental outcomes particularly due to the widespread use of mercury. We use a unique sample of 387 mining-site and non-mining site respondents in eight mining districts in Ghana to understand mining communities’ views on the local opportunities and risks that ASGM brings – with a particular focus on mercury use and other environmental issues – as well as on the rec…

Transparent for Whom? Dissemination of Information on Ghana’s Petroleum and Mining Revenue Management
Greater transparency has been proposed as an antidote to mismanagement of natural resource revenues in resource-rich, developing countries. The dominant transparency narrative in policymaking attributes a key role to the public: once citizens gain information, they are predicted to use it to demand better resource governance. Whether the public receives the available information in the first place, however, has not been scrutinised in a large-N a…
Does information matter? Transparency and demand for accountability in Ghana's natural resource revenue management
Natural resources and violent conflict
In this paper we examine the claim that natural resources invite civil conflict, and challenge the main stylized facts in this literature. We find that the conventional measure of resource dependence is endogenous with respect to conflict, and that instrumenting for dependence implies that it is no longer significant in conflict regressions. Instead, it appears that conflict increases dependence on resource extraction (as a default sector). Moreo…
