Description This paper shows how a VAR transition model can be estimated from panel data, taking into account that the transition coefficients may not be identical across regions. The method is applied to a model of dynamic land use changes in Brazil's Amazon region. The model is intended to shed light on the deforestation process in the world's largest remaining rain forest.
O artigo utiliza vetores auto-regressivos (VAR) para estimar modelos de transição com base em dados de painéis, tendo em conta que os parâmetros de transição para as diferentes regiões podem não ser idênticos. O método é aplicado a um modelo da dinâmica do uso de terras na Amazônia brasileira, com a pretensão de subsidiar o entendimento do processo de desflorestarnento da maior floresta ombrófila remanescente do planeta.
