Resumo
Agriculture and livestock production are fundamental to Brazil's economy and have undergone modernizationthrough advanced technologies, expanding operations via conversion of native vegetation areas. To promotebiome preservation, Brazil updated its Forest Code in 2012 and implemented the Rural EnvironmentalRegistry (CAR) in 2014. This instrument, operationalized by the National CAR System (SICAR), compiles dataon rural properties to create an essential database for environmental and economic monitoring, control,and planning, while also supporting anti-deforestation initiatives. This study evaluated CAR's impact ondeforestation and environmental compliance of rural properties in the Central-West agricultural frontier - astrategic grain-producing region encompassing municipalities within the Legal Amazon. Two analyses wereconducted using SICAR data: the first on deforestation covered 229,386 properties registered between 2014-2021 across 449 municipalities; the second on compliance analyzed 106,436 properties in 447 municipalities.Annual deforestation data were obtained from Brazil's National Institute for Space Research (INPE), spanning2008-2023. The analysis employed Callaway and Sant'Anna's (2021) multi-period Difference-in-Differencesmethodology. Results showed deforestation reduction among small properties registered in 2015 and 2016,with effects intensifying as treatment exposure duration increased. For environmental compliance, an increasedprobability of regularization was observed only among small properties. These findings demonstrate that CAR'seffectiveness varies by property size, and that the identified heterogeneous effects can inform improvementsin environmental policies through differentiated strategies that reconcile ecosystem conservation with regionaleconomic development.
