This paper discusses the problem of deforestation in Pará Amazon forest from the perspective of New Institutional Economics. The discussion of border institutions and governance mechanism(s) is important to structure a historical-institutionalist outlook on this topic. It is observed that the legislative apparatus contained in Operation Amazon gave the Legal Amazon, ie, the border is a product of the creation of the state institution. The basic hypothesis is that the expansion of the agricultural frontier is the central element of forest clearing in the Amazon Pará, and that this progress also includes other factors directly linked to the advance of capitalist economic progress, such as: economic growth, increased herd veal, concentrated land ownership, speculation about the price of land, rural credit institutions, among others. However, the main cause of forest clearing activity in Pará Amazon remains the beef cattle in extensive. In this research, it was found that governance mechanisms adopted in federal and state environmental management policies designed to combat forest clearing, primarily as investments targeted for surveillance, licensing and traceability of bovine chain, contribute effectively to thereducing deforestation in the region.

A questão do desmatamento florestal no Pará: evidências empíricas centradas em econometria espacial

This article aims to theoretically investigate and discuss the main factors responsible for the dynamics of forest deforestation in Pará State, with a view to approach performed through spatial econometrics. The basic hypothesis of this study is that the expansion of the agricultural frontier is the conductive element of the phenomenon of deforestation in the state of Pará, and this advance of the agricultural frontier carries also other factors that are directly linked to the advance of capitalist economic progress, such as: cresimento economic (GDP), construction of roads, increase of cattle, concentrated land ownership, speculation about the price of land, rural credit institutions, governance mechanisms, among others. However, the main cause of deforestation activity in the state of Pará is the beef cattle under extensive. In this context, spatial econometrics will be an extremely important tool to measure, from the results obtained in the spatial econometric model, the effects that deforestation has caused forest in Pará, as well as the specificity of each. The period chosen for the econometric spatial analysis covers the years 2000 and 2008 due to the high rate of deforestation in state of Pará.
