摘要：

Increasing global population and demand for food have placed rising pressures on tropical forests as agricultural land expands at their expense. ERS researchers employ a global economic model to assess the effects of two potential policies—(1) removing tariffs on forest-risk products and (2) prohibiting export of illegally logged wood—that could affect tropical forest loss.
