Global comparative analysis of the GCS REDD+ global datasets
Internship offer
(engineering programs and master's degrees)
Context:
For the last 10 years, the Center for International Forestry Research (CIFOR) has carried out
field surveys in different countries as part of a project called the Global Comparative Study on
REDD+ (or GCS REDD+). The GCS REDD+ project aims to understand the causes of
deforestation and forest degradation as well as to elaborate what can be done to reverse
those trends in tropical countries. The first phase (2012) of CIFOR’s REDD+ research focused
on overall design issues and building strong research-based knowledge. The second phase
(2014) focused on analyzing nascent and evolving policy processes and the actions of early
starters in developing REDD+ policies and measures to inform and facilitate transformational
change. They currently are running the third phase, which focuses on the assessment of policy
design and actual impacts of REDD+ policies and measures as a basis to achieving results in
the broader context of landscape management, livelihood objectives and equity
considerations.
The new knowledge generated through the

GCS REDD+ project helps to: (i) identify
options for more equitable and effective
incentive structures; (ii) ensure informed
decisions based on evidence; and (iii)
contribute to rebalancing power by working in
partnership with and providing evidence to
potential agents of change in developing
countries. In partnership with CIFOR, the
Center for Environmental Economics of
Montpellier (CEEM) is using the data collected
as part of the GCS REDD+ project to highlight
the effectiveness of REDD+ programs around
the world.
1
Objectives and aims of the internship:
The study aims to examine the evolution of decisions related to deforestation among the
participants of REDD+ programs in Brazil, Peru, and Indonesia, using the GCS REDD+ global
datasets.
Activities entrusted to the trainee during the internship:

(1) Cleaning of global database from 3rd phase of data collection at one of the three sites
mentioned previously (Brazil, Peru, or Indonesia)
(2) Estimation of an econometric model highlighting the likely effects of REDD+ programs on
the decisions related to deforestation among participants using a difference-in-difference
approach.
The construction of the database and the econometric analysis will have to be carried out
using the STATA software.
Location and gratification:

The internship takes place in the CEEM joint research unit (SupAgro campus, Montpellier).
The internship will begin in the summer of 2019, for a period of 4 to 6 months.
The student will work on the Montpellier SupAgro Campus, within the CEEM unit.
The student will be supervised by Julie Subervie (INRA - CEEM).
Monthly gratification for 154 hours worked: 570 euros.
Required skills:
STATA software knowledge
