Robalino et al. 2008—Costa Rica—PSA	Deforestation (2000–2005) 5 year effect (%)—observe land cover change in this period. Thus, if any location was covered by forest in 2000 but not in 2005, it is considered to have been deforested and is assigned a value of 1.	10,944	925	10,019	ATT	−0.02	0.0012	−0.08	0.05

Thus, if any location was covered by forest in 2000 but not in 2005, it is considered to have been deforested and is assigned a value of 1. If a location was still covered by forest in 2005, it is assigned a value of 0. From GIS.	6,517	330	6,187	ATT	−0.08	0.0032	−0.19	0.03
