Road networks and tropical deforestation

Bogmans, Christian; Meijden, Gerard van der; Withagen, Cees - 2026

We analyze a dynamic spatial model of deforestation in which roads facilitate agricultural expansion. The model's key innovation is that road construction costs decrease with the existing road stock, creating positive network externalities that are specific to infrastructure: each road built...
