An Econometric Analysis of the Causes of Tropical Deforestation: Ghana

Year: 2001

Type: preprint

Abstract: Deforestation is modeled in two stages, as an interaction of interlinked key sectors in the Ghanaian economy (including forest products exports, fuelwood energy consumption, cocoa production, and food crop production), which compete for forest landuse or forest products. The effects of the different first- and second-level causes of deforestation analyzed are discussed.
