Roads, Market Access and Forest Loss: Evidence from Ghana
Sciences Po, Paris — Supervisor: Prof. Clément Imbert
This thesis studies whether road-induced improvements in market access affect forest loss in Ghana. Using digitized road upgrades, district-level forest-loss data, and a spatial trade model, I find that a 1% increase in market access lowers expected annual forest loss by about 0.38%. The evidence suggests that better connectivity shifts agricultural adjustment toward input intensification rather than land expansion.
