In 2010, a 1.3-million-hectare area of UPF in eastern Amazon, known as the Mamuru-Arapiuns Glebas, underwent a land-use planning and allocation process. Over a decade later, the impact of this initiative on the region's forest cover remains unknown. Analyses of forest cover dynamics and land use within the newly created land categories were conducted in four-year intervals from 2006 to 2018. The results indicated a total forest cover loss of 50,017 ha (4 %), with annual rates increasing over the analyzed periods and a significant rise in deforestation and/or logging activities in some land categories following the land-use planning (e.g. in community areas, altered forests increased by an average of 641 ha/year). During the first post-planning period (T<sub>2</sub>), forest cover loss increased by 18 % compared to the pre-planning period (T<sub>1</sub>). In T<sub>3</sub>, the increase was 350 %, resulting in annual losses ranging from 1708 ha/year to 7690 ha/year. The findings reveal that while allocating UPF contributes to land-use governance in a specific region, it does not necessarily lead to reduced deforestation, depending on the chosen land-use category. Additionally, the study highlights that UPF allocation is only a first step, emphasizing the crucial need for implementing effective management tools in these areas to enhance the strategy's success and achieve better forest governance in the Amazon.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":45520,"journal":{"name":"Regional Science Policy and Practice","volume":"17 6","pages":"Article 100197"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143807677","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

There are three groups in our region: workers, creative class members, and the elites. Unlike previous studies, tax policy in our region is set not by the elites but instead by the creative class. In this setting, we first present a counterintuitive result in which the creative class prefers to tax itself, and not the elites or the workers, with the tax proceeds being redistributed also to itself via lump-sum transfers. Second, we explain why this counterintuitive result makes sense. Finally, we discuss whether the above counterintuitive result will hold if the proceeds of taxation are redistributed using lump-sum transfers to all the groups in our region and not just to the creative class.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":45520,"journal":{"name":"Regional Science Policy and Practice","volume":"17 7","pages":"Article 100198"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143817229","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Furthermore, it uncovers that the share of votes won in the previous regional election by the most important right-wing party (namely PP) is the most decisive factor explaining the new support for VOX, closely followed by the percentage of the foreign population.

Our findings suggest that the intended decarbonization policy, aimed at accelerating technology transfer, may not always reduce carbon emissions. However, incorporating Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technology into existing coal power plants and implementing a carbon tax could significantly reduce carbon emissions in all countries in the region. The paper suggests implementing carbon tax policy to reduce carbon emissions, retrofitting CCS technology in coal-based electricity powerplants, and developing renewable electricity at the same time as controlling emissions from non-renewable energy. These policies, however, need some supplement policy strategies to compensate for the potential output contraction due to the tax.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":45520,"journal":{"name":"Regional Science Policy and Practice","volume":"17 7","pages":"Article 100191"},"PeriodicalIF":1.7,"publicationDate":"2025-03-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143706227","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
