contaminación, pasivos ambientales mineros, salud, agricultura, geografía económica, maldición de los recursos naturales

Resumen

En la literatura de desarrollo económico internacional abundan estudios sobre
impactos nacionales y locales de las actividades extractivas en empleo e ingresos.
No son frecuentes, en cambio, los estudios sobre externalidades negativas como la

contaminación. Utilizando una base de datos administrativa sobre pasivos ambien-
tales mineros (PAM) y encuestas de hogares georreferenciadas, exploramos cómo la

cercanía a estos pasivos afecta las condiciones de salud y producción agropecuaria
en hogares peruanos para el año 2016. Primero, obtenemos evidencia parcialmente

robusta a correlación espacial de la relación entre cercanía relativa a un PAM e indica-
dores de salud: niños con menor altura y peso, según edad, y con mayor probabilidad

de encontrarse desnutridos. Segundo, obtenemos evidencia que la cercanía a PAM
se relaciona con un menor número de cabezas de ganado en hogares productores
agropecuarios.
