What Drives Land-Use Change in the United States? A National Analysis of Landowner Decisions (2007, unknown): “We explored the potential importance of spatial dependence by eliminating observations near to one another, an alternative method adopted in previous discrete choice land-use models (Nelson and Hellerstein 1997; Nelson, Harris, and Stone 2001; Cropper, Puri, and Griffiths 2001).”
What Drives Deforestation and What Stops it? A Meta-Analysis of Spatially Explicit Econometric Studies (2014, unknown): “The analytical question has been whether lower deforestation in protected areas is due to their legal status or to their geographical remoteness (e.g. Nelson 2001; Cropper 2001).”
Policies for Habitat Fragmentation: Combining Econometrics with GIS-Based Landscape Simulations (2007, background): “These studies include several on deforestation (Nelson, Harris, and Stone 2001; Cropper, Puri, and Griffiths 2001) and urban sprawl (CarrionFlores and Irwin 2004) and a number from the Patuxent River Watershed project at the University of Maryland (Bockstael 1996; Irwin and Bockstael 2002, 2004).”
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).”
Crossing spatial analyses and livestock economics to understand deforestation processes in the Brazilian Amazon: the case of Sao Felix do Xingu in South Para (2002, background): “, 2001) and land tenure and zoning restrictions (e.g. Chomitz and Gray, 1995; Deininger and Minten, 1996; Nelson et al., 2001; Mertens et al., 2003).”
Property rights and deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon (2009, background): “Nelson et al. (2001) indicate that removing property rights in indigenous reserves is likely to foster deforestation in Panama.”
Theorizing Land Cover and Land Use Change: The Peasant Economy of Amazonian Deforestation (2007, methodology): “…by Ludeke, Maggion, and Reid (1990), reflect rapid advances in computational technology, and GIS and remotely sensed data to generate analysis samples (e.g., Chomitz and Gray 1996; Nelson and Hellerstein 1997; Mertens and Lambin 1997, 2000; Nelson, Harris, and Stone 2001; Pan and Bilsborrow 2005).”
Effectiveness of terrestrial protected areas in reducing habitat loss and population declines (2013, background): “, 2008; Ellis and Porter-Bolland, 2008) and five found them to perform worse (Armenteras et al., 2006; Bleher et al., 2006; Gaveau et al., 2007; Nelson et al., 2001; Nepstad et al., 2006).”
Driving forces of tropical deforestation: The role of remote sensing and spatial models (2006, methodology): “…land use modelling using an econometric framework was one put forth by Chomitz and Gray (1996), and spatial econometric techniques have been increasingly applied in recent years (Cropper et al. , 1999; Pfaff, 1999; Geoghegan et al. , 2001; Nelson et al. , 2001; Munroe et al. , 2004; Walker, 2004).”
