Abstract:Previously, induced land use change estimates considered only the extensive margin; that is, adding to harvested area by converting forest or pasture to cropland. However, recent data suggests that some of the increase in global harvested area comes from more intensive use of existing cropland, such as double cropping or use of unused land. This project is designed to add to GTAP, a computable general equilibrium model, the capability of including region specific parameters on degree of intensification. In that way, changes on both the intensive and extensive margins can be estimated.
