Abstract

O objetivo deste trabalho é testar empiricamente a hipótese ambiental de Kuznets aplicada ao relacionamento entre a taxa de desmatamento e a renda per capita nos estados da Amazônia Legal, além analisar o comportamento da taxa de desmatamento e da dinâmica populacional no período de 1990-2004. O teste econométrico utilizado para avaliar a hipótese ambiental de Kuznets é baseado na estimação de dois modelos específicos de regressão, o primeiro representa uma função quadrática e o segundo uma função cúbica, em que a taxa de desmatamento é a variável explicada, e a renda per capita, a densidade demográfica e o ano são as explicativas. Na estimação dos parâmetros utilizou-se a modelagem de dados em painel para efeitos aleatórios. Os resultados mostram que para a função quadrática original da hipótese ambiental de Kuznets apresentou resultado inverso ao esperado. Para função cúbica, a estimação da função apresenta evidência estatística de adequação aos pressupostos da curva “U” ambiental, para renda inferior a R$ 6.000,00. The objective of this study is to test the hypothesis empirically, environmental Kuznets applied to the relationship between the rate of deforestation in per capita income in the states of Amazonia Legal, besides analyzing the behavior of the rate of deforestation and population dynamics in the period of 1990-2004. The econometric test used to assess the environmental Kuznets hypothesis is based on the estimation of two specific models of regression, the first is a function quadratic and cubic according to a function, where the rate of deforestation is the variable explained, and the per capita income, the population density and the year are the explanatory. In the estimation of the parameters used to modeling data in panel for random effects. The results show that for the quadratic function of the original hypothesis of environmental Kuznets presented to the opposite result expected. For cubic function, the estimation of the function presents statistical evidence of the appropriateness of the assumptions curve "U" environmental, rent for less than $ 6.000,00.
