Analysis shows deforestation reduces income inequality in various basins, suggesting environmental policies could offer benefits.
This article analyzes how deforestation affects income inequality and examines whether environmental restrictions can reduce that inequality. Using data from 17 countries (1990–2022), PMG and FMOLS estimates show that deforestation reduces inequality both short‐ and long‐term in the Borneo‐Mekong and Amazon basins, and in the long‐term in the Congo basin. The article also considers how environmental restrictions linked to trade liberalization can provide carbon credit opportunities for countries in the Congo and Amazon regions.
