abstract = {The 'deforestation problem' in Brazil consists of a variety of interrelated issues, of which this paper identifies a
regional, sectoral and macroeconomic dimension. Using a regionally and sectorally disaggregated general
equilibrium model of Brazil, it is shown that macroeconomic reform is complementary to conservation
policies. Therefore, if not for other reasons, macroeconomic reform is urgently needed to provide an adequate
framework for microeconomic conservation policies to be effective. The analysis also shows that regional land
taxes in the Amazon outperform the reduction of fiscal incentives for agriculture, both with regards to
ecological effectiveness and efficiency. Finally, the results do not support claims for compensation payments.},
