Biodiversity conservation as a way to improuv lives ?
–———Attention Horaire décalé pour cette séance qui se tiendra de 16h à 17 h———-
We combine 219 Demographic Health Surveys with information on PAs from the WDPA in 44 developing countries. Exploiting the variation in the location of clusters and the implementation year of PAs through a difference-in-differences approach, we find a positive impact of PAs on wealth, a negative effect on farming, and a negative effect on pollution in rural areas. Our results suggest that households in urban areas are much more likely to switch from resource-intensive activities than those in rural areas. We also observe a reduction in child labor in urban areas, which is associated with a decrease in the use of charcoal or wood as cooking fuel. However, we do not observe these results in rural areas.
