• Exchange Rates, Soybean Supply Response, and Deforestation in South America (2012, background): “associated with export growth and their relationship to a region’s broader economy have also been examined within the Amazon (Wunder, 2000; Barnham and Coomes, 1994).”
• Causas do Desmatamento da Amazonia Brasileira (2003, background): “Segundo Westoby (apud Wunder, 2000, p.78), “... aceitar a extração madeireira como a principal causa dos desmatamentos no Brasil é um mito, fomentado por aqueles que gostariam de identificar facilmente um vilão do processo”.”
• Agricultural expansion and deforestation in lowland Bolivia: the import substitution versus the structural adjustment model (2006, background): “In spite of the lack of data, it is likely to argue that forest conversion to pastures has not achieved the magnitude reached in other countries of the Amazon (Kaimowitz et al., 2004; Margulis, 2003; Wunder, 2000).”
• A methodology to estimate impacts of domestic policies on deforestation: Compensated Successful Efforts for “avoided deforestation” (REDD) (2009, background): “For instance Wunder (2000) pointed out “the wealth of theories” in this field and isolated six main theoretical approaches to deforestation: the role of logging companies, the fuelwood trap, poverty, population growth, tenure and access rules, and extra-sectorial (non-forestry) policies.”
• Baseline, leakage and measurement issues: how do forestry and energy projects compare? (2002, background): “…absence of effective regulation, landholders often find it more profitable to extract saleable timber from the forest and convert it to agriculture than to manage the primary forest for sustainable extraction (Pearce et al., 1999; Wunder, 2000; Kishor and Constantino, 1993; Arima and Uhl, 1997).”
