First, we estimate a household demandsystem for non-durable goods with special emphasis on energy-related goods. Then, weuse the results to simulate the introduction of a carbon tax. We look at the potential toraise revenue with the aim of implementing different redistributive policies in order toaddress issues of inequality and poverty.

Land tenure security and forest cover in the Colombian Amazon

Submitted by Petra Hansson on

Land tenure security (LTS) is important for achieving many sustainable development goals but its influence on forest cover is mixed. The uncertain relationship between LTS and forests is driven, in part, by the moderating influence of other drivers of deforestation. In this paper we illustrate this complex relationship between LTS and forest cover for individual private landholders in the Colombian Amazon. We use household surveys and econometric analysis with matching techniques to examine whether formal land titles and perceptions of LTS influence forest cover.
