The expansion of a given land use may affect deforestation directly if forests are cleared to free land for this use …. Unlike direct land conversion, indirect land-use changes affecting deforestation are not immediately observable. They require … deforestation. This indirect land-use effect is shown to be a dynamic process materializing over 10 to 15 years. …

In this article we study the long-run average rate of forest conversion in Brazil. Deforestation results from the … benefits plays a relevant role in deterring deforestation. We find that these benefits, if growing at a sufficiently high rate … deforestation. We indicate the Brazilian states where forests are expected to be saturated earlier. In this respect, we find that …
