• Socio-economic and environmental implications of Artisanal and Small-scale Mining (ASM) on agriculture and livelihoods (2020, background): “In some instances, for example, in Liberia, Van Bockstael (2014) explains that the high formal registration fees had resulted in a ‘locally grounded formalisation process’ i.e. informal taxation arrangements between miners and local government officials, with beneficent economic results.”
• The Economic Logic of Persistent Informality: Artisanal and Small‐Scale Mining in the Southern Philippines (2015, background): “However, the increased involvement of outside financiers and skilled experts enabled the capitalization and professionalization of ASM (Verbrugge, 2014).”
