Deforestation slowdown in the Brazilian Amazon: prices or policies? (2015, background): “…positive relationship between income and forest growth (Cropper and Griffiths, 1994; Panayotou, 1995), and the possibility of there being a positive relationship for income levels above a certain threshold (Antle and Heidebrink, 1995) or within closed economies (Foster and Rosenzweig, 2003).”
Poverty and firewood consumption : A case study of rural households in northern China (2011, background): “…a source of energy has been analyzed theoretically and empirically through various complementary angles, including the environmental Kuznets curve (Foster & Rosenzweig, 2003), the poverty-environment hypothesis (Duraiappah, 1998; López, 1998; Mäler, 1998; Wunder, 2001; Zwane, 2007), the energy…”
Forest Conservation and Slippage: Evidence from Mexico’s National Payments for Ecosystem Services Program (2012, background): “Wealth may also increase demand for forest products (Foster and Rosenzweig 2003; Pfaff, Chaudhuri, and Nye 2004), facilitate the development of stronger institutional mechanisms for conservation, or increase investment in greener technologies.”
Property rights and deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon (2009, background): “The Forest area variable should only be considered as a rough approximation of forest areas. demand, but this effect may be partially compensated by an increase in the demand for forest products and forest surfaces (Foster and Rosenzweig, 2003).”
Only One Tree from Each Seed? Environmental Effectiveness and Poverty Alleviation in Mexico's Payments for Ecosystem Services Program (2015, methodology): “Pre-survey matching used exact matching within region and tenure type and oneto-one covariate matching on distance to the nearest major locality, elevation, slope, area of the parcel, road density, the average locality poverty level, and forest type.”
Interaction effects between economic development and forest cover determine deforestation rates (2006, background): “, 2000), or because the high cost of wood products in denuded landscapes makes it economically profitable to re-convert existing landuses back to forest (Foster and Rosenzweig, 2003; Rudel, 1998; Rudel et al., 2005).”
Resource abundance and economic growth in the United States (2007, background): “, 1996; Gylfason, 2000, 2001a). Gylfason and Zoega (2001) analyse the rate of optimal saving and the maturity of the financial system in an economy and its negative relation to the share of natural resources in national output. As a second transmission channel we consider the role of resource abunda”
