| dc.description.abstract | Demand in cobalt has been surging in recent years due to advancements in technology and the requirements for batteries. Mining of minerals like cobalt is often associated with conflict. This paper investigates if cobalt can be related to conflict by replicating the work of Berman, et al. (2017) and finds mixed results. Thus, minerals are distinguished into labor- and capital-intensive ones, which yield findings similar to Dube and Vargas (2013). This is done through classification of main minerals and heterogeneous effects. The paper concludes that cobalt can be regarded a labor-intensive resource and therefore decreases the likelihood of conflict. | pt_PT |
