TORO, Juliana; MAZO-ZAPATA, Julián e ZAPATA, Oswaldo. All that glitters is not gold: collective action in gold mining. Rev.econ.inst. [online]. 2020, vol.22, n.42, pp.269-295. ISSN 0124-5996. https://doi.org/10.18601/01245996.v22n42.11.
The Colombian territories where mining occurs have been subject to numerous studies from an economic, political and social point of view. This article discusses the collective action in Buriticá, Antioquia, in order to understand its community dynamics, despite the challenges brought on by mining exploitation. It examines cooperation based on the voluntary contribution mechanism and estimates its determinants through a probit model. The results indicate that, even in adversity, individuals tend to act cooperatively, unlike previous studies that focus on maximizing individual benefits.
