Arguments against development range from the irreversible nature of tropical deforestation to the synergistic losses associated with environmental degradation and continued poverty. The focus of this paper is to determine if evidence of market advancements and growth can be found in an Amazonian settlement, thus providing counter-evidence for the boom–bust pattern of development that has been predicted for much of the Amazon. Using panel survey data (for four survey waves between 1996 and 2009), we find trends that are consistent with the industrial life cycle, suggesting a pattern that is more consistent with growth, development and consolidation.}, number={3}, journal={ENVIRONMENT AND DEVELOPMENT ECONOMICS}, author={Hall, Simon C. and Caviglia-Harris, Jill}, year={2013}, month={Jun}, pages={326–353} } @article{caviglia-harris_hall_mulllan_macintyre_bauch_harris_sills_roberts_toomey_cha_et al._2011, title={Improving Household Surveys Through Computer-Assisted Data Collection}, volume={24}, ISSN={1525-822X 1552-3969}, url={http://dx.doi.org/10.1177/1525822x11399704}, DOI={10.1177/1525822x11399704}, abstractNote={Data on land use change and socioeconomic dynamics in developing countries are often collected via paper-and-pencil interviewing (PAPI). This article reviews a computer-aided personal interviewing (CAPI) methodology adopted for the fourth wave of a panel survey administered in a remote region of the Brazilian Amazon in 2009. Ruggedized touch-screen laptops were used to address challenges associated with survey administration in this setting as well as limitations associated with the PAPI method. The authors discuss hardware and software considerations, methodological innovations, and tests for mode effects on missing item response rates and enumerator learning effects.}, number={1}, journal={Field Methods}, publisher={SAGE Publications}, author={Caviglia-Harris, J. and Hall, S. and Mulllan, K. and Macintyre, C. and Bauch, S.
