This paper analyzes the impacts of mining and petroleum sector expansion on economic growth
and the labour market through allocation policies. We use a static CGE (computable general
equilibrium) model based on PEP 1-1 with some modifications. The results show that the increase
in mining and oil revenues does not systematically lead to Dutch disease if the government
implements appropriate policies. For example, an agricultural subsidy has beneficial effects on
agricultural production and can result in a decrease in food insecurity, while an electricity
subsidy helps strengthen the industrial base and creates more jobs through spillover effects. ce document est également disponible en français: Impact de l’essor minier et pétrolier sur le marché du travail et développment économique au Niger
