<![CDATA[This study examines the relationship between mining sector revenue and poverty across 34 Indonesian provinces during 2015–2025, using panel data regression based on 374 annual provincial observations. Chow, Hausman, and Lagrange Multiplier tests indicate that the Random Effects model is the most appropriate specification. The results show that, nationally, higher mining sector revenue significantly reduces poverty. However, descriptive evidence reveals substantial regional disparities. The poverty-reducing effect is more evident in provinces with relatively strong governance, such as East Kalimantan and South Kalimantan, whereas other mining-producing regions, including Papua and West Papua, have not effectively translated mining revenue into meaningful poverty reduction. These findings indicate that mining revenue alone does not guarantee poverty alleviation. Therefore, revenue-sharing and downstream processing policies should prioritize strengthening local governance and fiscal accountability rather than merely increasing mining revenue.]]>
