A methodology to estimate impacts of domestic policies on deforestation: Compensated Successful Efforts for “avoided deforestation” (REDD) (2009, background): “For instance, Culas (2007) shows that more secure property rights result in lower deforestation ceteris paribus.”
Economic growth, industrial pollution and human development in the Mediterranean Region (2009, background): “Culas (2007) investigated institutional factors and forest sector policies, and found that export policies of forest products affect the deforestation rates.”
The Influencing Factors of CO2 Emissions and the Role of Biomass Energy Consumption: Statistical Experience from G-7 Countries (2018, background): “ural resources, which enhances environmental quality [44, 107].”
Impact of institutional quality on environment and energy consumption: evidence from developing world (2020, background): “The literature mentions the role of institutional quality to conserve forest area (Bhattarai and Hammig 2001; Arvin and Lew 2011; Culas 2007; Ehrhardt-Martinez et al.”
The environmental consequences of domestic and foreign investment: Evidence from China (2017, neutral): “Although many studies claimed to verify the existence of inverted-U shaped EKC (e.g., Culas, 2007; Song et al., 2008; Auffhammer and Carson, 2008; Bertinelli et al., 2008; Diao et al., 2009; Halkos and Paizanos, 2013; Hao and Liu, 2016), some researchers found evidence that EKC does not exist…”
REDD and forest transition: Tunneling through the environmental Kuznets curve (2012, methodology): “Also other variables, for example, institutions (Culas, 2007) and good governance (Bhattarai and Hammig, 2004), have significant influence on the shapes of the EKC for deforestation.”
Property rights and deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon (2009, methodology): “Culas (2007) uses the Knack and Keefer’s (1995) indicators of contract enforceability and bureaucracy efficiency to demonstrate the positive impact of institutional arrangements for secure property rights on forest preservation.”
The new rurality: Globalization, peasants and the paradoxes of landscapes (2010, background): “Trends in forest cover are explained using a range of variables including population, population density, GDP, debt, institutional configurations (such as democracy, corruption) and policy factors to test whether the curves exist , and at what per capita income level the inflection point – the place”
