financing, namely seigniorage and deforestation revenues. First, we develop a theoretical model emphasizing a substitution … effect between seigniorage and deforestation revenues. Second, a panel-data econometric analysis over the 1990-2010 period … confirms our findings. Consequently, a tighter monetary policy hastens deforestation. Third, we extend the theoretical model …

Protected areas are increasingly used as a tool to fight against deforestation. This paper presents new evidence on the … in two steps. First, we assumed that protected areas are created to stop the negative effects of deforestation on … creation of protected areas. Our results show (i) that deforestation activities of neighboring municipalities are complements …

This paper investigates the mechanisms determining spatial interactions in deforestation, and its transmission channels …, using data from Brazil. Our preliminary results confirm the hypothesis that deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon is … characterized by complementarity, meaning that deforestation in a particular municipality tends to increase deforestation in its …

This paper focuses on the impact of property rights insecurity on deforestation in the Brazilian Legal Amazon …. Deforestation is considered as a risk management strategy: property rights insecurity reduces the present value of forests and … fosters forest conversion into agricultural and pasture lands. Moreover, deforestation is the consequence of strategic …

Although widely studied, deforestation remains a topical and typical issue. The relationship between economic … development and deforestation is still at stake. This paper presents a meta-analysis of Environmental Kuznets Curve (EKC) studies … for deforestation. Using 71 studies, offering 631 estimations, we shed light on why EKC results differ. We investigate the …

seigniorage. Building on a simple theoretical model where governments target inflation and aim at reducing deforestation while … minimising a welfare loss function, we exhibit the potential substitution effect between seigniorage and deforestation revenues … and deforestation revenues, which is, as suggested by the theoretical model, even stronger if the endogenous character of …

This paper examines the effects of land tenure insecurity originating from land reforms on deforestation in the … and the strategic interactions between landowners and squatters lead to an over deforestation. The main theoretical … restriction is a positive impact of squatters on deforestation. It is successfully tested on a panel data set covering the …

This paper aims at assessing the determinants of Amazon deforestation, with an emphasis on the role played by off …-farm income. We first present a microeconomic model which relates off-farm income to deforestation patterns. We then test the …-farm income tends to reduce deforestation. This may be explained by the fact that greater off-farm opportunities tends to increase …
