Abstract: We organized one evaluation of the paper: "Does Conservation Work in General Equilibrium" under our "interim evaluation" policy. 1 To read this evaluation, please see the link below. Evaluations Evaluator 1 Overall ratingsWe asked evaluators to provide overall assessments as well as ratings for a range of specific criteria.I. Overall assessment: We asked them to rank this paper "heuristically" as a percentile "relative to all serious research in the same area that you have encountered in the last three years."We requested they "consider all aspects of quality, credibility, importance to knowledge production, and importance to practice."II.Journal rank tier, normative rating (0-5): 2 On a 'scale of journals', what 'quality of journal' should this be published in? (See ranking tiers discussed here.)Note: 0= lowest/none, 5= highest/best.See "Metrics" below for a more detailed breakdown of the evaluators' ratings across several categories.To see these ratings in the context of all Unjournal ratings, with some analysis, see our data presentation here.3 See here for the current full evaluator guidelines, including further explanation of the requested ratings.4 Evaluation summaries Anonymous evaluator 1 5This paper investigates the impacts of conservation policies on deforestation, […] explicitly [taking] into account indirect general equilibrium effects.Intuitively, protecting land in certain locations affects local land prices, wages, and agricultural output prices that may lead to deforestation elsewhere, given that regional markets are interconnected -this is known in the literature as 'leakage.'Though widely acknowledged as conceptually important, the existing empirical works have not yet explicitly dealt with this issue, except via 'reduced form' spillovers, focusing on regions that are adjacent to protected areas (PA).This 'traditional' Overall assessment (0-100) Journal rank tier, normative rating (0-5) Evaluator 1 70 4.0
