Dinamica de curto prazo do desmatamento da amazonia legal: Analise do papel das politicas publicas no periodo de 2000 a 2010

Abstract

This paper discusses, in a context of a dynamic panel, called the GMMSYSTEM, the short-term determinants of deforestation dynamics in the Legal Amazon from 2000 to 2010, in order to test the role of public policies related to the control of deforestation and the policy of settlements for Agrarian Reform in the region. The evidence found confirms the importance of the regulatory policy in controlling deforestation, while the settlement policy was not significant.
