Abstract: Protecting species by preserving habitats that are critical to their survival often involves placing land-use constraints, raising concerns regarding job losses. I examine the effects on logging labor markets following the 1990 Endangered Species Act listing of the Northern Spotted Owl as Threatened in California, Oregon, and Washington. Using difference-indifferences , triple-differences, and synthetic control method, I find that employment in the Lumber & Wood sector, during the 1990-2000 period, declined by 25%, representing 40,000 jobs lost in the sector.
