Abstract

Un conjunto creciente de investigadores y responsables de política pública sostienen, de manera un tanto contraintuitiva, que la extracción regulada de madera puede ayudar a conservar los bosques en los países en desarrollo al desalentar la tala ilegal y el cambio de uso de suelo. Sin embargo, las pruebas rigurosas de esa hipótesis son escasas. Utilizamos modelos de diferencias en diferencias para medir el efecto neto de la concesión de permisos de extracción de madera en la pérdida de cobertura forestal en México entre 2001 y 2012. Nuestros hallazgos sugieren que los permisos no tienen grandes efectos sistemáticos sobre la pérdida de la cobertura forestal. Identificamos efectos estadísticamente significativos sólo en determinados subgrupos, mas no en nuestra muestra a nivel nacional. Además, los efectos de los subgrupos son relativamente modestos y varían en signo. Los subgrupos en los que los permisos tienen efectos discernibles se definen, entre otras cosas, por los niveles de pobreza y los costos de oportunidad de retener la cobertura forestal, resultados que sugieren que la gobernanza forestal y la demanda por tierra moderan los efectos de los permisos.
