• Property rights and deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon (2009, background): “Consequently, forested lands in Amazon are more vulnerable to invasions by squatters and redistribution by the INCRA, than pasture and agricultural lands (Alston et al., 2000; Fearnside, 2001).”
• Forest Cover Change in Space and Time: Combining the Von Thunen and Forest Transition Theories (2007, positive): “The problem has been discussed particularly in the Amazonian deforestation context, e.g., Schneider (1995) and Alston et al. (2000).”
• Persistence of cattle ranching in the Brazilian Amazon: A spatial analysis of the rationale for beef production (2012, background): “…economic incentives for producers to nvest in more intensive property management since there is less isk of expropriation or of losing their landholdings, which could esult in either increased or decreased property-level deforestation Angelsen, 1999; Alston et al., 2000; Araujo et al., 2009, 2010).”
