A Random Coefficient Var Transition Model of the Changes in Land Use in the Brazilian Amazon

Brazilian Review of Econometrics, 1997, vol. 17, issue 1

Abstract: This paper shows how a VAR transition model can be estimated from panel data, taking into account that the transition coefficients may not be identical across regions. The method is applied to a model of dynamic land use changes in Brazil's Amazon region. The model is intended to shed light on the deforestation process in the world's largest remaining rain forest.
