A 1% increase in the price of timber increases deforestation by 1.1% and malaria cases by up to 0.124% over time.

Un aumento del 1% en el precio internacional de la madera provoca un aumento del 1,1% en la deforestación, que se correlaciona con un aumento del 0,042% en los casos de malaria. Tras varios años de deforestación, este efecto aumenta hasta el 0,124%.
