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. 606 $aDeforestation$zBrazil 606 $aDeforestation$zAmazon River Region 606 $aDeforestation$xEconomic aspects$zBrazil$xEconometric models 606 $aDeforestation$xEconomic aspects$zAmazon River Region$xEconometric models 607 $aBrazil$xEconomic policy 615 0$aDeforestation 615 0$aDeforestation 615 0$aDeforestation$xEconomic aspects$xEconometric models. 615 0$aDeforestation$xEconomic aspects$xEconometric models. 676 $a333.75/137/0981 701 $aAndersen$b Lykke E$01205854 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811825903321 996 $aThe dynamics of deforestation and economic growth in the Brazilian Amazon$93959179 997 $aUNINA
