Disaggregated data on land use and its changes are used to investigate the contribution of different socioeconomic and physiogeographic factors to deforestation in Mexico. The significance and quantitative importance of poverty, government policies and associated price incentives, and the security of property rights in relation to deforestation are investigated. Section 2 presents a discussion of related work and an introduction to the conceptual model, the proxy variables chosen for different model parameters, the regressions to be estimated, and the anticipated signs of different parameters. Sections 3 provides a description of the land use and agricultural and socioeconomic variables used in the analysis, including descriptive statistics for a number of them. Section 4 contains econometric evidence relating to determinants of deforestation for the whole country and for specific parts, and instrumental poverty equations.
