Protecting Ecosystems and Alleviating Poverty with Parks and Reserves: ‘Win-Win’ or Tradeoffs? (2011, background): “Empirical studies have found that protected areas, on average, are effective in reducing deforestation, although not as much as advocates may have expected (e.g., Cropper et al. 2001; Andam et al. 2008; Pfaff et al. 2009; Sims 2010).”
Price elasticity reconsidered: Panel estimation of an agricultural water demand function (2006, background): “Other examples in the economic literature on land use in developing countries include work at the municipal level [Pfaff, 1999], census tract [Chomitz and Thomas, 2003] or at the pixel level [Cropper et al., 2001; Munroe et al., 2002].”
Policies for Habitat Fragmentation: Combining Econometrics with GIS-Based Landscape Simulations (2007, background): “In recent decades, there have been significant exchanges between forest and agricultural uses, as well as conversion of forest and agricultural land to urban uses.”
The Ecological Impact of Transportation Infrastructure (2018, background): “(2)Many studies describe cross-sectional relationships between roads and forest cover or forest loss (Chomitz and Gray, 1996; Angelsen and Kaimowitz, 1999; Pfaff, 1999; Cropper et al., 2001; Geist and Lambin, 2002; Deng et al., 2011; Barber et al., 2014; Li et al., 2015; Dasgupta and Wheeler, 2016).”
What Drives Deforestation and What Stops it? A Meta-Analysis of Spatially Explicit Econometric Studies (2014, unknown): “Built infrastructure increases deforestation by lowering transportation costs to markets (Cropper 2001), by making frontier land more accessible to new migrants (Mertens and Lambin 2000); and by enabling the transformation of remote economies from local subsistence agriculture to market oriented…”
Conservation and Development: Evidence from Thai Protected Areas (2010, unknown): “[44] instruments for protection in a bivariate probit model with distance to major river.”
Temporal and spatial modelling of tropical deforestation: a survival analysis linking satellite and household survey data (2002, background): “…focused exclusively on the location of land-use change has analysed deforestation in tropical countries: Belize (Chomitz and Gray, 1996); northern Mexico (Nelson and Hellerstein, 1997); Brazil (Pfaff, 1999); Thailand (Cropper et al., 1999; Cropper et al., 2001); and Panama (Nelson et al., 2001).”
Transport Corridors and Their Wider Economic Benefits (2018, background): “Papers that focus on environmental quality outcomes, especially deforestation, also provide an important exception, as these frequently also consider the role of protected area status in mitigating the impacts of roads on deforestation (Cropper et al. 2001; Damania and Wheeler 2015; Dasgupta and Whe”
