• Land use change modelling: current practice and research priorities (2004, background): “Although this implementation can be done through advanced measures of autocorrelation (Bell and Bockstael 1988; Walker et al. 2000; Brown et al. 2002), more often simple measures of neighbourhood composition, e.g. the area of the same land use type in the neighborhood, are included as explanatory…”
• Ranching and the new global range: Amazônia in the 21st century (2009, result): “This aggregate picture is consistent with field-based ethnography that has established an overwhelming movement toward pasture-dominated farming systems in active frontiers, even among small-holders (Walker et al., 2000; Walker, 2003; Browder et al., 2008).”
• Relationship between openness to trade and deforestation: : Empirical evidence from the Brazilian Amazon (2016, background): “…poorly defined property rights, road construction, and population growth have been extensively studied (Reis and Guzman, 1992; Pfaff, 1999; Walker et al., 2000; Weinhold and Reis, 2001; Andersen et al., 2002; Mertens et al., 2002; Margulis, 2004; Chomitz and Thomas, 2003; Pfaff et al.,…”
• A dynamic model of patterns of deforestation and their effect on the ability of the Brazilian Amazonia to provide ecosystem services (2001, background): “According to Eden et al. (1990), Fearnside (1996, 1997b), Neil et al. (1997), Uhl et al. (1988), and Walker et al. (2000) cattle ranching activities continue to account for most of the deforestation in the Brazilian Amazonia.”
• Property rights and deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon (2009, background): “In the Brazilian Amazon, these activities supported by government policies through credit and tax policy, played intermingled roles in the process of deforestation (Binswanger, 1991; Margulis, 2003; Mertens et al., 2002; Walker et al., 2000).”
• Revisiting Theories of Frontier Expansion in the Brazilian Amazon: A Survey of the Colonist Farming Population in Rondônia’s Post-Frontier, 1992–2002 (2008, unknown): “In later ‘‘empty nest’’ stages of the household life-cycle, grown children usually leave the farm and the aging first generation pioneers shift to more casual, less-labor demanding production strategies, such as cattle ranching (Walker et al., 2000).”
• Theorizing Land Cover and Land Use Change: The Peasant Economy of Amazonian Deforestation (2007, methodology): “The approach we take follows McCracken et al. (1999) and Walker, Moran, and Anselin (2000), both of whom linked remote sensing with survey-based data in regression analyses of deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon (also see Fox et al. 2003; Pan et al. 2004; and others).3”
• The Political Economy of Land Conflict in the Eastern Brazilian Amazon (2004, background): “Besides these institutional and structural accounts, it has also been argued that land accumulation is a behavioral response tomarket forces (Walker andHomma 1996; Walker, Moran, and Anselin 2000).”
