Abstract
The objective of this research was to compare the economic impacts of changes in the New Forest Code on the economic sectors and regions of Brazil. There are three possible scenarios: 1) restrict the land use in case of partial use of the mechanism of Environmental Reserves Quotas (CRA in portuguese); 2) restrict the land use in case of disapproval of the compensation mechanism (CRA); and 3) land use restriction is related to disregarding the amnesty of fines and sanctions granted by Law n °12.651 / 2012. The data regarding the restrictions of different scenarios is integrated to the general equilibrium models for Brazil, TERM-BR and GLOBIOM-Brazil.The results showed that the value of the macroeconomic aggregates, in the accumulated period from 2010 to 2030, compared to the baseline, there was a drop in GDP of 0.12%, 0.14% and 051% in scenarios 1, 2 and 3 , respectively. As there was also a decline in consumption, government and import (vol.) , which decreased of 0.1% (scenarios 1 and 2) and around 0.5% (scenario 3), investment decreased by 0.8% , 0.8% and 3.1% in the respective scenarios 1,2 and 3. The percentage decrease in real salary higher than in consumption, which there was a reduction of 0.3% (scenarios 1 and 2) and 1 , 2% (scenario 3). Exports increased by 0.4% in the first and second scenario, while in the third scenario the increase is close to 1.9%. The downturn in the domestic market puts pressure on the agro-export sectors for commercialization in the international market. In the first scenario, the region most affected economically was that of Pará-TO, with a drop of 2.5% in regional GDP. In the second scenario, the state of Mato Grosso showed the greatest drop in GDP, at 4.5%. In the third scenario, Goias was the most affected, with a fall of 4.3% in GDP. In addition, it was observed that soybean and cattle raising are the activities most negatively impacted by such changes in environmental policy.
