End-Of-Conflict Deforestation – Evidence From Colombian’s Peace Agreement

This paper studies the effect of the recent peace negotiation between the government and the FARC insurgency on Colombia’s forest cover. Using yearly deforestation data from satellite images and a difference-in-differences identification strategy, the paper shows that areas controlled by FARC prior to the declaration of a permanent ceasefire experienced a differential increase in deforestation after the start of the ceasefire.
