dc.description | La pandemia del COVID-19 y las respuestas de los gobiernos han detenido abruptamente la actividad económica en todo el mundo. El medio ambiente se ha beneficiado con la reducción de la contaminación en las zonas urbanas, pero lo que ha sucedido en las zonas rurales con la deforestación aún no se ha estudiado. A priori, el efecto no es claro: la deforestación podría disminuir con las restricciones a la actividad económica. Pero podría haber aumentado dadas las reducciones en el monitoreo. Combino datos quincenales de 70 países que cubren todo el bosque tropical del mundo con las fechas en que cada país comenzó las restricciones. Utilizando diferencia en diferencias, encuentro que, aunque la deforestación es mayor en 2020 en comparación con 2019, no se debe a los aislamientos, sino a una mayor deforestación que los precede. Existe heterogeneidad por el nivel de efectividad gubernamental del país: los países con una gobernanza efectiva experimentan una reducción de la deforestación, probablemente porque pueden hacer cumplir las restricciones de bloqueo. | spa |
dc.description.abstract | The COVID-19 pandemic and the associated responses by governments have halted economic activity abruptly across the world. The environment has benefited with reductions in pollution in urban areas, but what has happened in rural areas to deforestation has not been studied yet. A priori the effect is unclear: deforestation might decrease with the restrictions on economic activity. But it might have increased given the reductions in monitoring. I combine bi-weekly data from 70 countries covering the entire world's tropical forest with the dates each country started lockdown restrictions. Using difference-in-differences I find that, although deforestation is higher in 2020 compared to 2019, it is not driven by the lockdowns but rather by higher deforestation that precedes them. There is heterogeneity by the level of government effectiveness of the country: countries with effective governance experience a reduction in deforestation, probably because they can enforce the lockdown restrictions. | spa |
