Abstract: This study aims to explore the role of cooperative norms and discount factors in global deforestation. Previous studies have revealed that these preferences lead to the better management of common-pool resources. However, since these case studies focus on small geographical areas, external validity remains an important issue. By using high-resolution satellite data and a unified measure of cooperative norms and discount factors, this study demonstrates that higher levels of cooperative norms are associated with a lower level of deforestation across the world, whereas no significant association is found between discount factors and deforestation.
