Abstract

Illegal logging is a global concern, related with severe negative environmental, social and monetary impacts, such as deforestation, degradation of biodiversity and loss of authorities revenues. Despite recent global eforts to combat unlawful logging activities, the problem stays widespread. While the educational literature on the subject is extensive, little systematic research has been committed to analysing the reasons of unlawful logging. Here, this knowledge gap is addressed with a cross-national evaluation of elements hypothesized to have an effect on illegal logging. The logistic regression evaluation performed in this find out about corroborates some widely held beliefs, but additionally gives some new insights on the elements that are essential for whether unlawful logging is in all likelihood to be a problem. It is shown that, except physical-geographic characteristics, a number of elements relating to the level and velocity of a country's economic-institutional improvement are related with unlawful logging. These include gross domestic product per capita, financial growth, voice and accountability, rule of regulation and control of corruption.
