Parks versus PES: Evaluating direct and incentive-based land conservation in Mexico (2017, unknown): “Existing studies analyze impacts on cover change in the 1980’s (Deininger and Minten 1999, 2002), between 1993-2000 (Duran-Medina et al 2005, Figueroa and Sánchez-Cordero 2008, Bezaury-Creel and Gutiérrez-Carbonell 2009, Blackman, Pfaff and Robalino 2015) and 2000-2005 (Pfaff et al. 2014b) and on…”
Only One Tree from Each Seed? Environmental Effectiveness and Poverty Alleviation in Mexico's Payments for Ecosystem Services Program (2015, background): “…the expansion of agricultural or pastoral activities and logging, and to natural causes including fires, pests, disease, drought and storm damage (Deininger and Minten 1999, 2002, Alix-Garcia, de Janvry, and Sadoulet 2005, Bray and Klepeis 2005, Alix-Garcia 2007, Díaz-Gallegos, Mas, Velázquez…”
The Effect of Rural Credit on Deforestation: Evidence from the Brazilian Amazon (2019, background): “The literature contains several other efforts to test the relationship between household income and forest resources, though many with unresolved identification issues (for examples, see Cropper and Griffiths, 1994; Barbier and Burgess, 1996; Pfaff, 1999; Shortle and Abler, 1999; Wunder, 2001; Deini”
Conservation and Development: Evidence from Thai Protected Areas (2010, unknown): “Deininger and Minten [28] find that protected areas in Mexico decreased deforestation probabilities by 10–21 percentage points; Chomitz and Gray [27] find that national parks and private reserves in Belize had 4.5 percentage points less deforestation; and Andam et al. [29] find that protected areas ”
Property rights and deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon (2009, background): “However Deininger and Minten (2002) working on two poor Mexican states, show that property rights do not have any impact on deforestation once physiogeographic factors and population density are controlled for.”
The Ecological Footprint of Poverty Alleviation: Evidence from Mexico's Oportunidades Program (2010, unknown): “Deininger and Minten (1999, 2002) suggest that as countries grow richer, relative returns to off-farm labor will increase and reduce pressure on forests.”
