Reducing Deforestation and Trading Emissions: Economic Implications for the post-Kyoto Carbon Market
Sathaye, Jayant A.; Anger, Niels - 2008
This paper quantitatively assesses the economic implications of crediting carbon abatement from reduced deforestation for the emissions market in 2020 by linking a numerical equilibrium model of the global carbon market with a dynamic partial equilibrium model of the forestry sector. We find...

The Role of Human Development on Deforestation in Africa: A Modelling-Based Approach
Asongu, Simplice A.; Jingwa, Brian - 2012
The rate of deforestation in Africa is of paramount concern not only to the future of Africa, but also to the world. This study uses country-level data to model changes in forest area over an 18 year period (1990-2007) in 35 African countries and investigates the role played by important...
