Frontier metrics for a process-based understanding of deforestation dynamics

Baumann, Matthias; Gasparri, Ignacio; Buchadas, Ana; … - In: Environmental Research Letters 17 (2022) 9

Agricultural expansion into tropical and subtropical forests often leads to major social-ecological trade-offs. Yet, despite ever-more detailed information on where deforestation occurs, how agriculture expands into forests remains unclear, which is hampered by a lack of spatially and temporally...

From global drivers to local land-use change: Understanding the northern Laos rubber boom

Junquera, Victoria; Meyfroidt, Patrick; Sun, Zhanli; … - In: Environmental Science & Policy 109 (2020), pp. 103-115

Crop booms in forest frontiers are a major contributor to land conversion and deforestation. In this study, we investigate the smallholder-driven northern Laos rubber boom in two case study areas (CSAs) with different speed and intensity of rubber expansion. We assess the relative importance of...

Fading opportunities for mitigating agriculture-environment trade-offs in a south American deforestation hotspot

Law, Elizabeth A.; Macchi, Leandro; Baumann, Matthias; … - In: Biological Conservation 262 (2021)

Strong trade-offs between agriculture and the environment occur in deforestation frontiers, particularly in the world's rapidly disappearing tropical and subtropical dry forests. Pathways to mitigate these trade-offs are often unclear, as well as how deforestation or different policies alter the...

Explaining the emergence of land-use frontiers

Meyfroidt, Patrick; Abeygunawardane, Dilini; Baumann, … - In: Royal Society Open Science 11 (2024) 7, pp. 1-21

Land-use expansion is linked to major sustainability concerns including climate change, food security and biodiversity loss. This expansion is largely concentrated in so-called ‘frontiers’, defined here as places experiencing marked transformations owing to rapid resource exploitation....

The forest policy outputs of regional regimes: a qualitative comparative analysis on the effects of formalization, hegemony and issue-focus around the globe

Sarker, Pradip Kumar; Giessen, Lukas; Göhrs, Max; … - In: International Environmental Agreements: Politics, Law … 24 (2024) 2, pp. 449-467

International regimes, defined as sets of norms and rules around which members’ expectations converge, are providing structures for facilitating cooperation in a given issue area. Two main lines of environmental regime scholarship prevailed thus far: one on structural design aspects of...

Climate policy and optimal public debt

Kellner, Maximilian; Runkel, Marco - In: International Tax and Public Finance (2023), pp. 1-27

Employing a two-period model with an environmental externality, this paper investigates the relation between emission taxation and the optimal level of public debt. The central insight is that the effect of emission taxation on optimal borrowing is ambiguous and may lead to lower or higher...

Agricultural livelihoods, adaptation, and environmental migration in sub-Saharan drylands: A meta-analytical review

Hoffmann, Roman; Wiederkehr, Charlotte; Dimitrova, Anna; … - In: Environmental Research Letters 17 (2022) 8

relationship between environmental change, adaptation, and migration in rural areas in sub-Saharan drylands. We show that … findings indicate that migration is often used as a complementary strategy to other forms of adaptation, which can vary … depending on situational needs. We use cluster analysis to identify adaptation clusters and show how linked response strategies …

Spillover effects and other determinants of medical device uptake in the presence of a medical guideline: An analysis of drug‐eluting stents in Germany and Italy

Möllenkamp, Meilin; Pongiglione, Benedetta; Rabbe, Stefan - In: Health Economics 31 (2022) Supplement, pp. 157-178

We investigated the role of spillover effects among hospitals in the diffusion of drug‐eluting stents (DES) in Germany and Italy during a period in which the relevant medical guideline clearly recommended their use over bare‐metal stents. We used administrative data of hospitalized patients...
