Determinants of Forest Degradation under Private and Common Property Regimes: The Case of Ethiopia
用倾向得分匹配法比较埃塞俄比亚私有和共有产权下森林质量变化，发现私有产权区域森林退化显著更少，但不同产权下影响退化的因素完全相反。
This study considers the endogenous determination of land ownership systems to rigorously compare differences in the changes in forest quality between private and common property regimes. By employing the propensity score matching method, we found that there was significantly less forest degradation in private property areas than in common property areas. We also found that good accessibility, a flat surface, and good light conditions significantly induced forest deterioration in private property areas. In contrast, we found completely opposite results for common property areas. <i></i>
