摘要：This paper studies the impact of Yanacocha, a large gold mine in Peru, on the local
population. Using annual household data from 1997 to 2006, we nd evidence of a positive
e
ect of the mine's demand of local inputs on real income, household welfare and poverty
reduction. The e
ects are only present in the mine's supply market and surrounding areas.
We examine and rule out that the results are driven by the scal revenue windfall from
mining levies. Using a spatial general equilibrium model, we interpret these results as
evidence of welfare gains generated by the mine's backward linkages.
