Artisanal mining in Africa. Green for Gold
The livelihoods of 130 to 270 million people depend on artisanal mining. Artisanal mining is a labour-intensive, often illegal, extractive activity. We combine geological knowledge and a source of exogenous temporal variation to construct the first proxy for artisanal gold mining in Africa—the main form of artisanal mining. We establish that an increase in the potential value of artisanal mining is a significant driver of deforestation. The histo…
Mineral Resources and the Salience of Ethnic Identities
This paper shows how ethnic identities may become more salient due to natural resources extraction. We combine individual data on the strength of ethnic—relative to national—identities with geo-localised information on the contours of ethnic homelands, and on the timing and location of mineral resources exploitation in 25 African countries, from 2005 to 2015. Our strategy takes advantage of several dimensions of exposure to resources exploitation…
Stabbed in the back? Mandated political representation and murders
The gold digger and the machine. Evidence on the distributive effect of the artisanal and industrial gold rushes in Burkina Faso
Don’t Touch My Road. Evidence from India on Affirmative Action And Everyday Discrimination
L'expansion du choix rationnel en sciences sociales: Signe de vigueur ou marque de faiblesse
Le Handbook of Rational Choice Social Research propose un état des lieux du paradigme du choix rationnel. Cette note montre comment l'approche du choix rationnel s'est progressivement constituée en paradigme en tentant de dépasser les clivages traditionnels de la sociologie. En premier lieu, l'environnement décisionnel de l'acteur rationnel a été notablement enrichi pour mieux appréhender l'influence de la structure sociale sur ses choix. Parallè…
