Abstract: The paper explores the impact of artisanal and small-scale mining on agricultural land use in Liberia between 2013 and 2019 using a difference-in-differences methodology. The main findings indicate that households near mines tend to use more land for agriculture after the mines open. The paper also identifies a positive impact on households’ wealth.
