? 2022 Elsevier LtdIt is widely accepted that the resource sector does not necessarily benefit the country at a national level. At a local level, the picture is different. Studies suggest that locally, at the district level, or in geographically close areas, mining can positively impact household livelihood. In this study, we show that mining positively affected the livelihood of provincial households in mining-producing provinces using the countrywide data from Mongolia. We identified mining-producing provinces using provinces’ mining production level, and based on this identification, we assessed the impact of mining at the provincial level. It should be noted that this effect is significant in producing provinces only and that mining activities do not necessarily improve the livelihood in all provinces.
