- 요약The chapters in this dissertation use theoretical and empirical methods to assess the impact of policies on land conflict and the effects of direct sales on bargaining.The first chapter shows how giving land titles to indigenous lands can affect deforestation (Chaves Yoshida, 2025a). Illegal deforestation has become a critical global concern, leading to various initiatives to attempt to counteract it. One such policy is the granting of formal property rights to indigenous communities living in endangered areas. Despite its increasing popularity, evidence regarding the effectiveness of this policy for curbing deforestation remains scant, particularly concerning the conditions under which it operates effectively. To address this gap, I investigate the staggered allocation of land titles to indigenous communities in the Brazilian Amazon. I employ a doubly-robust generalized difference-in-differences framework to assess the impact on deforestation. I find that titling reduces the probability of deforestation by 7 percentage points. The effect is driven by lands located in areas of high baseline deforestation and high level of enforcement.The second chapter studies how media coverage can impact land conflict (Chaves Yoshida, 2025b). In a country where land inequality is high and proper redistribution is scarce, the landless tend to mobilize and occupy areas to pressure for more land reform. In 1995 and 1996 there were two violent police repressions of landless occupiers in Brazil. They received a lot of media coverage, which resulted in increased public attention towards the government's lack of land reform and the role of the landless movement. I investigate the effect of this event on people's decision to engage in land occupations. I explore exogenous variation in TV signal strength and a difference-in-differencesframework and show that media exposure increases the probability that a municipality has an occupier by 2.3 percentage points. Results are stronger in lower income and more rural areas and I also show an increase in votes for a pro land reform party, evidence that an information or sympathy channel drives the effect.The third chapter studies the effects of direct-to-consumer sales (Donna et al., 2024). Cutting out the intermediary and selling directly to consumers is an increasingly common strategy by manufacturers. We develop a structural model of vertical relations where manufacturers bargain with retailers and sell their products directly to consumers. Direct sales generate potential consumer gains due to additional competition and product variety but also increase manufacturers' bargaining leverage, thereby increasing upstream and downstream prices and potentially reducing consumer welfare. We estimate the model using data from the outdoor advertising industry to quantify the bargaining-leverage and welfare effects of direct sales. We discuss the relevance of the bargaining-leverage effect for vertical merger evaluation.
