   Sammanfattning : Chapter I: Forest Devolution Reform in China: A Trigger for Investment or Deforestation?

The investment analysis is based on a panel dataset of a two-round survey of 3,000 households in eight provinces before and after the implementation of the forest devolution reform, while the analysis of resource conditions is based on satellite imagery on forest cover and vegetation during 2001-2012.
