Synopsis
A multi-disciplinary team of authors analyze the economics of Brazilian deforestation using a large data set of ecological and economic variables. They survey the most up to date work in this field and present their own dynamic and spatial econometric analysis based on municipality level panel data spanning the entire Brazilian Amazon from 1970 to 1996. By observing the dynamics of land use change over such a long period the team is able to provide quantitative estimates of the long-run economic costs and benefits of both land clearing and government policies such as road building. The authors find that some government policies, such as road paving in already highly settled areas, are beneficial both for economic development and for the preservation of forest, while other policies, such as the construction of unpaved roads through virgin areas, stimulate wasteful land uses to the detriment of both economic growth and forest cover.

Hardcover. Condition: Like New. Dust Jacket Condition: Like New. First Edition. A firm and square hardback with strong joints, complete with original dustjacket, just showing a few very minor rubs.

Now offered for sale at a very sensible price. Seller Inventory # 124374

Making use of a uniquely rich data set the authors analyze the ecological and economic impacts of a range of policies and examine whether the economic benefits of land clearing surpass the ecological costs. Their conclusions are surprising. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9780521811972
