摘要：This study deals with the analysis of mining impacts on the socioeconomic condition of people in the mining areas of Agusan Provinces in Caraga Region, Philippines. Propensity score matching (PSM) with nearest neighbor and kernel as matching procedures has been used to get rid of selection bias and endogeneity in the estimation of impacts for the socioeconomic underpinnings of res ponsible mining in the said areas. Theresults show that mining can induce income effects and improvement in education of children and access to health facilities for the locals. These outcomes are deemed important to the development of human capital in the concerned areas for the proper management of opportunities brought about by mining. Based on these findings, future legislations are recommended to account and institutionalize the ways of catalyzing the income effects and the revealed improvement in welfare to manage judiciously these mining benefits with the foresight of sustainable development in Agusan Provinces and in Caraga Region, Philippines.
