Resumo: This article discusses the factors related to the occurrence of fire hotspots in South America and the International Amazon using country-level panel data ranging from 2002 to 2018. For this purpose, we perform an extensive literature review in order to elaborate a comprehensive model considering all relevant variables. We estimate a negative binomial model and the results indicate that the relationship between fire hotspots and Gross Domestic Product percapita or fire hotspots and the Human Development Index is in the form of a “U-shaped”, i.e., these indicators can accelerate the activity of fire hotspots in the South American region. Furthermore, forest cover and unemployment induce fire activity in South America and in the Amazonian countries. Based on these results, public policies are suggested to combat and reduce hot spots in the South American continent.

Para tanto, realizou-se uma extensa revisão de literatura dos trabalhos empíricos desta área a fim de elaborar um modelo abrangente, contendo variáveis consideradas relevantes.As estimativas via modelo binomial negativo apontaram que a relação entre os focos de calor e o Produto Interno Bruto per capita ou entre focos de calor e Índice de Desenvolvimento Humano se dá na forma de “U-normal”, ou seja, estes indicadores podem acelerar a atividade dos focos de calor na região sul-americana. Ademais, a cobertura florestal e o desemprego induzem a atividade do fogo na América do Sul e no recorte dos países Amazônicos. A partir desses resultados, são sugeridas políticas públicas para o combate e a redução dos focos de calor no continente sul-americano.Universidade de São Paulo.
