This award was provided as part of NSF's Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (SBE) Postdoctoral Research Fellowships (SPRF) program and SBE's Political Science program. The goal of the SPRF program is to prepare promising, early career doctoral-level scientists for scientific careers in academia, industry or private sector, and government. SPRF awards involve two years of training under the sponsorship of established scientists and encourage Postdoctoral Fellows to perform independent research. NSF seeks to promote the participation of scientists from all segments of the scientific community, including those from underrepresented groups, in its research programs and activities; the postdoctoral period is considered to be an important level of professional development in attaining this goal. Each Postdoctoral Fellow must address important scientific questions that advance their respective disciplinary fields. Under the sponsorship of Drs. Richard Howarth and Michael Cox at Dartmouth College, this postdoctoral fellowship award supports an early career scientist investigating regulatory transitions and forest management outcomes in the Global South. Canonical research concludes that self-organized groups can generate norms and rules (i.e. institutions) that enable the sustainable management of forest areas. To promote forest conservation, many governments across the Global South have rapidly decentralized forest management. As a result, these same governments have witnessed a rapid rise in the number of administrative units that conduct regulatory activities. Despite these processes of decentralization and administrative proliferation in the Global South, forest loss continues to increase. The relationship between regulatory transition and institutional stability provides an important link between the theory of how self-organized user-groups have managed forest resources for long-term sustainability and the current trends of increased decentralization and forest cover loss in the Global South. Regulatory transition refers to a period during which rules, regulations, or administrations change. Behavioral uncertainty often increases during regulatory transition, which can lead to outcomes that may differ drastically from periods of institutional stability. Through the study of how regulatory transition affects forest outcomes in the Global South, this research advances fundamental research in social, economic, and behavioral sciences.This research investigates the extent of regulatory transition and its impact on forest related outcomes across scales. First, it utilizes publicly available, global datasets to quantify the extent of forest cover in the Global South that experienced different forms of regulatory transition over the past two decades (2000 to 2020). This analysis will assess the years during which forest management was decentralized, and the extent to which sub-national administrative units have proliferated. Second, this research will analyze the impact of regulatory transition on forest cover and multidimensional poverty. This analysis will use panel data and causal inference techniques to understand how regulatory transition affects forest cover. Third, this research will assess the causal mechanisms by which regulatory transition affects forest outcomes through the collection and analysis of interview data. Decentralization and proliferation provide a unique opportunity to understand how and why forest cover change has occurred as a result of regulatory transition in one of the most important countries for tropical forest conservation. The combination of these three analyses will provide a comprehensive study of when, how, and why regulatory transition leads to changes in forest resources. In doing so, it promises to advance scholarship on institutional analysis and natural resource policy and behavior.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

该奖项是作为NSF的社会、行为和经济学(SBE)博士后研究奖学金(SPRF)计划和SBE的政治学计划的一部分提供的。SPRF计划的目标是为学术界、工业界或私营部门和政府的科学职业生涯培养有前途的、早期职业博士水平的科学家。SPRF奖项包括在知名科学家的赞助下进行两年的培训，并鼓励博士后研究员进行独立研究。国家科学基金会致力于促进科学界所有阶层的科学家参与其研究方案和活动，包括那些来自代表性不足的群体的科学家；博士后阶段被认为是实现这一目标的专业发展的一个重要水平。每个博士后研究员都必须解决推动各自学科领域向前发展的重要科学问题。在达特茅斯学院理查德·豪沃斯博士和迈克尔·考克斯博士的赞助下，这一博士后奖学金奖项支持一位研究全球南部监管过渡和森林管理成果的早期职业科学家。规范研究得出的结论是，自我组织的团体可以产生规范和规则(即机构)，从而能够对林区进行可持续管理。为了促进森林保护，全球南方的许多政府迅速下放了森林管理的权力。因此，这些政府见证了进行监管活动的行政单位数量的迅速增加。尽管全球南方正在进行权力下放和行政扩散，但森林损失仍在继续增加。监管过渡与体制稳定之间的关系，在自我组织的用户群体如何管理森林资源以实现长期可持续性的理论与全球南方权力下放和森林复盖率丧失加剧的当前趋势之间，提供了一个重要的联系。监管过渡是指规则、法规或行政管理发生变化的一段时期。在监管过渡期间，行为的不确定性往往会增加，这可能会导致与机构稳定时期截然不同的结果。本研究通过研究全球南方的管制转型对森林结果的影响，推动了社会、经济和行为科学的基础研究。本研究调查了管制转型的程度及其对全球南方森林相关结果的影响。首先，它利用可公开获得的全球数据集来量化全球南方在过去二十年(2000年至2020年)经历了不同形式的监管过渡的森林覆盖范围。这项分析将评估森林管理被下放的年份，以及地方行政单位激增的程度。其次，本研究将分析监管转型对森林覆盖率和多维贫困的影响。这项分析将使用面板数据和因果推断技术来理解监管过渡如何影响森林覆盖。第三，这项研究将通过收集和分析访谈数据来评估监管转变影响森林成果的因果机制。权力下放和扩散为了解热带森林养护最重要的国家之一的管制过渡如何以及为什么会发生森林复盖率变化提供了独特的机会。这三项分析的结合将提供一个关于监管过渡何时、如何以及为什么会导致森林资源变化的综合研究。通过这样做，它承诺推进机构分析和自然资源政策和行为的学术研究。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
