REDD and forest transition: Tunneling through the environmental Kuznets curve (2012, background): “Also other variables, for example, institutions (Culas, 2007) and good governance (Bhattarai and Hammig, 2004), have significant influence on the shapes of the EKC for deforestation.”
Interaction effects between economic development and forest cover determine deforestation rates (2006, result): “…determinant of whether or not that nation has undergone a transition from deforestation to afforestation (a result similar to those shown by Ehrhardt-Martinez et al. (2002) and Bhattarai and Hammig (2004), who both showed that deforestation rate was related to the amount of remaining forest cover).”
Property rights and deforestation in the Brazilian Amazon (2009, background): “Particular attention has been paid to the environmental Kuznets curve for deforestation in econometric studies based upon international datasets (e.g. Bhattarai and Hammig, 2004; Culas, 2007; Cropper and Griffiths, 1994).”
A methodology to estimate impacts of domestic policies on deforestation: Compensated Successful Efforts for “avoided deforestation” (REDD) (2009, background): “Instead, we prefer to explicitly encourage and reward additional public measures that reduce deforestation for a given economic development, following Bhattarai and Hammig (2004, p. 370) who hypothesized that “underlying institutional and policy conditions affect the relationship between deforesta”
