文摘

This article explores whether mining is associated with domestic violence (DV). We match georeferenced data on industrial mines with survey data on wife abuse. We find no significant effect of mine openings on the risk of wife abuse. But mining is associated with more DV in areas with higher acceptance of abuse. There are also significant heterogeneous effects of mining on DV across countries.
