This paper employs a version of the Heckman selection model to ascertain the effects of International Monetary Fund (IMF) programs on deforestation. The authors' sample includes 2,258 observations from 112 countries from 1970 to 1990. Even after controlling for non-random selection, the authors find that deforestation increases when governments participate in IMF programs.
