我们使用家庭面板数据和森林变化的遥感数据来检验森林覆盖变化对农业生产力的影响。该研究的重点是印度尼西亚农村地区，那里的森林砍伐正在导致生物多样性严重丧失，而农业是主要产业。我们估计了农业生产函数，发现印度尼西亚农村的农民在2001年至2014年期间经历了45%的农业生产力下降，2014年为26.3亿美元。此外，我们探讨了生产力损失的机制，发现生物虫害控制是最合理的解释。
We examine the effect of forest cover change on agricultural productivity using household panel data and remote sensing data on forest change. The focus of the study is rural Indonesia, where deforestation is causing intensive biodiversity loss while agriculture is the main industry. We estimate an agricultural production function and find that farmers in rural Indonesia experienced a reduction in agricultural productivity of 45% between 2001 and 2014 or US$2.63 billion in 2014. In addition, we explore the mechanisms underlying the productivity loss and find that biological pest control is the most plausible explanation.
