Deforestation and agricultural land degradation are major problems
in developing countries. While they have attracted much attention,
most analyses and policy recommendations examine them in isolation
from their broader economic and policy setting. This path breaking
and timely book takes an economy-wide approach to the analysis of
developing-country resource degradation problems. The Open Economy
and the Environment asks what globalization means for environmental
quality and the use of natural resources in developing economies.
The authors develop theoretical models that trace the effects of
trade and trade liberalization on sectoral resource allocation,
factor returns, income and welfare, as well as incentives to clear
forest and degrade agricultural land. The models reflect important
developing economy features including spatial distinctions between
uplands and lowlands, open-access forest resources and the special
features of domestic food markets. The authors also analyze
representative economy submodels, explore empirical cases based on
applied general equilibrium models of Asian economies, and examine
welfare and environmental implications of migration, trade
liberalization and development policy. Researchers and graduate
educators in agricultural, development, environmental and
international economics, will find the core subject matter of this
book of great interest, as will economists specializing in Asian
economies.
