9320081 Granger In the past decade policy makers have become increasingly concerned with the environmental and atmospheric consequences of the deforestation of the world's tropical forests. Unfortunately, high level decision-makers have had very little hard data with which to form their policies regarding the utilization of forest resources. This project intends to use a newly available economic and ecological dataset for the Amazon region in Brazil to analyze the long-run economic and environmental consequences of various forestry-related activities under a variety of regimes. On of the major issues to be analyzed is how the presence of roads or the existence of land tenure programs may influence the long-run effects that forestry activities have on the economy and ecology of a region. By providing a better understanding of how many factors interact over time to affect both the environment and the economy, this study would provide policy makers with valuable information and contribute to the effort to balance human economic need with environmental concerns. ***

9320081格兰杰在过去的十年里，决策者越来越关注世界热带森林砍伐对环境和大气的影响。 令人遗憾的是，高层决策者几乎没有确凿的数据来制定关于利用森林资源的政策。 该项目打算使用巴西亚马逊地区新获得的经济和生态数据集，分析各种制度下各种林业相关活动的长期经济和环境后果。 要分析的主要问题之一是道路的存在或土地保有权计划的存在如何影响林业活动对一个地区的经济和生态的长期影响。 通过更好地了解有多少因素随着时间的推移相互作用，影响环境和经济，这项研究将为决策者提供有价值的信息，并有助于平衡人类经济需求与环境问题的努力。 ***
