To date, there have been few quasi-experimental efforts to evaluate the impact of refugee camps on host landscapes. Yet many stakeholders believe refugee camps lead to deforestation in nearby areas. I use data on camp locations and years of operation as well as secondary geospatial data to produce a high-resolution panel dataset of 0.01° tiles. My difference-in-difference specification with tile fixed effects exploits variation in camp openings and tile proximity to camps. F-tests on event study pre-trends provide support for the satisfaction of parallel trends prior to camp exposure. I find that within the rainforest biome, camps are associated with a small reduction in extensive margin forest loss (i.e., land clearing) and a small increase in intensive margin forest loss (i.e., gradual reductions in canopy cover). In the grasslands biome, camps lead to small increases in forest loss at the intensive margin but have no impact on the extensive margin.

迄今为止，很少有准实验性的努力来评估难民营对东道国景观的影响。然而，许多利益相关者认为难民营会导致附近地区的森林砍伐。我使用营地位置和运营年数的数据以及二级地理空间数据来生成 0.01° 瓷砖的高分辨率面板数据集。我对瓷砖固定效果的差异化规范利用了营地开口和瓷砖与营地的接近度的变化。事件研究前趋势的 F 检验为营地暴露前平行趋势的满意度提供支持。我发现在热带雨林生物群系中，营地与小幅减少有关广泛的边缘森林损失（即土地开垦）和密集的边缘森林损失小幅增加（即树冠覆盖的逐渐减少）。在草原生物群落中，营地导致集约边缘的森林损失小幅增加，但对粗放边缘没有影响。
