Impact of socio-environmental conflicts on mining exports in Peru during the period 2007-2022

The purpose of this research is to examine the impact of socio-environmental conflicts on mining exports in Peru during the period 2007-2022. To achieve this objective, the multiple linear regression method was used, employing the statistical programme SPSS. The results of the analysis showed that, although the model as a whole is significant (calculated p = 0.011 < tabulated p = 0.05), the coefficient for Socio-Environmental Conflicts did not reach statistical significance (calculated p = 0.627 > tabulated p = 0.05). This suggests that the significance of the overall model appears to be due to the intervention of our control variable, regional GDP. This finding highlights the need for more in-depth and detailed research on the relationship between socio-environmental conflicts and mining exports in Peru, considering possible additional factors or alternative methodological approaches to better understand this complex dynamic.
