Networks in Space – Spillovers in Amazon Deforestation Monash University, Australia Spillover effects between regions are common in deforestation and environmental economics. Yet, data on the networks behind them is elusive, and empirical analyses rely on proxies and assumptions. In this paper, I present a hierarchical approach to jointly model spillovers and the latent networks driving them. I apply this approach to investigate the deforestation impact from blacklisting municipalities in the Brazilian Amazon. I find large positive spillovers from the intervention that are underestimated considerably when using conventional spatial proxies. Results further suggest that endogenous spillovers may lead to upward bias when assessing deforestation interventions. My approach is widely applicable, and its flexibility can improve our understanding of spillovers by revealing the networks behind them and enabling targeted, effective interventions. | |
