2016-6-11 If gold mines serve as catalyst for urbanization, we would observe that gold mines are associated with a rise in the share of non-primary employment in total employment. Urbanization is also associated with agglomeration effects that foster economies of scale in production.

Using cross-sectional data, we nd that locations in the immediate vicinity (up to 10 km) of gold mines have more night light and proportionally higher employment in industry and services and in

Gypsum production in Iosco County comes from three mines, but urbanization in this county is less than the state average and is predicted to remain that way. Hence gypsum mining there may not face as the of urban pressures as has been the case in Kent County.
