2011, Archivos de Economía

Abstract

From information at municipal level about vegetation coverage changes in coca regions, provided by the system of monitoring of illicit crops, SIMCI, deforestation caused by coca would be up to one fifth of the national deforestation since the beginning of the 21st century. In addition, temporal and geographical dynamics of deforestation were estimated applying panel data and spatial econometrics, where their determinants are coca crops, environmental conflict, infrastructure and thepopulation´s vulnerability to coca.
