To quantify deforestation effects, the elasticities of various parameters of deforestation as identified in the literature are evaluated. The main conclusion derived is that the factors that have a relatively more direct influence on the level of harvest such as annual allowable cut would have a greater effect on deforestation rate than population growth and off-farm employment opportunities. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | ICFAI Journal of Environmental Economics, 4(3), p. 7-34 | Publisher: | ICFAI University Press | Place of Publication: | India | ISSN: | 0972-9313 | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 140205 Environment and Resource Economics | Socio-Economic Objective (SEO) 2008: | 910299 Microeconomics not elsewhere classified | Peer Reviewed: | Yes | HERDC Category Description: | C1 Refereed Article in a Scholarly Journal | Publisher/associated links: | http://researchonline.nd.edu.au/bus_article/35/ |
