The research employed evolutionary economics as a theoretical basis, especially the concept of technological trajectories. The duality of decisions involving logging - conventional logging (CL) versus reduced-impact logging (RIL) - was studied. An agent-based simulation model - in which decision-making under bounded rationality is based on a genetic algorithm - was implemented in Java programming language. Results demonstrate the existence of lock-in, producers aversion to risks, greater operational efficiency of sustainable logging, and benefits derived from a policy of environmental bonuses, both in economic and ecological terms. 2017 artículo científico 0103-6351 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=400454872001 https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4004/400454872001/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4004/400454872001/html/ https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4004/400454872001/400454872001.epub https://www.redalyc.org/journal/4004/400454872001/movil 10.1590/0103-6351/2735 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=4004 Nova Economia application/pdf Universidade Federal de Minas Gerais Nova Economia (Brasil) Num.3 Vol.27 |
