The Impact of Provincial Forest Subsidies on Deforestation in Indonesia

09 Maret 2023
This study investigates the impact of the forest subsidy on the deforested areas. Panel data were used to examine whether the forest subsidy and the logging tariff policy could curb the province"s deforested area from 2009 to 2019. Pooled OLS was the suitable model to estimate the relationship. The study found an unexpected result: increased forest subsidy increased the deforested area in a province. At the same time, the increase in industry-manufacturing sector workers reduced the deforested area. Another unpredictable result was that the logging tariff, which was expected to reduce deforested areas, did not affect the deforested areas in a province
