This publication has two objectives. First, it analyzes the past research on deforestation and summarizes the findings of that research, in terms of its relevance to the development of future REDD regimes. Second, it highlights areas where future research and methodological development are needed...

Autor: Angelsen, A.

Four types of policies could reduce deforestation: policies to depress agricultural rent, policies to increase and capture forest rent, policies that directly regulate land use, and cross-sector policies that underpin the first three. While payments for environmental services (PES) have clear adv...

Wertz-Kanounnikoff, S.Angelsen, A.[Quelles actions REDD+ pour faire face aux facteurs de pression sur les forêts?]Quelles actions REDD+ pour faire face aux facteurs de pression sur les forêts?
Autor: Angelsen, A.

The article first reviews rates and definitions of tropical deforestation and the environmental implications in terms of climate change, biodiversity loss, and reduced supply of forest products. Tropical deforestation and other land use changes contributed about 20% of the global anthropogenic CO...


Angelsen, A.[Deforestation-forestation]Deforestation-forestation

This article, which synthesizes the results of more than 140 economic models analyzing the causes of tropical deforestation, raises significant doubts about many conventional hypotheses in the debate about deforestation. More roads, higher agricultural prices, lower wages, and a shortage of off-f...


Angelsen, A.Kaimowitz, D.[Rethinking the causes of deforestation: lessons from economic models]Rethinking the causes of deforestation: lessons from economic models

This paper addresses under what circumstances technological change in agriculture is likely to increase deforestation and when it will decrease it. It identifies four sets of variables that influence these outcomes: the type of technological change involved, the farmers' socio-economic profile, t...


Angelsen, A.Kaimowitz, D.[Can new technologies in agriculture save the forests?]Can new technologies in agriculture save the forests?

A widespread belief among development and forest researchers and practitioners holds that technological progress in tropical agriculture is good for forest conservation. Higher yield enables farmers to produce the same amount of food on less agricultural land. The alternative view suggests that p...

Autor: Angelsen, A.

The article reviews some of the critical issues for including Reduced Emissions from Deforestation and forest Degradation (REDD) into a new global climate agreement. Four different REDD models (regimes) are discussed based on two dimensions: scale (national vs. project) and funding (market vs. fu...


Angelsen, A.[REDD models and baselines]REDD models and baselines

As international concern over tropical deforestation has grown over the last ten years, researchers have sought to understand the causes of deforestation and possible solutions using quantitative economic models. This book reviews the results and methodology of over 150 of these models and synthe...
