This study assessed the impacts of differing levels of land development in four watersheds in Palau on river sediment yield and on sedimentation and turbidity. Area corrected sediment yield was strongly related to land development ( r 2 = 0.96 , P = 0.02 ), varying from 9.7 to 216 tons km −2 yr −1 between the least and most developed watershed. Mean sedimentation rates on reefs ranged from 0.7 to 46 mg cm −2 d −1 , and mean turbidity ranged from 9 to 139 mg l −1 . The higher values exceeded those known to harm corals. ...

This research examines the impact of road construction on rural labor force outcomes in a developing country. A new road built in the Republic of Palau links formerly inaccessible rural areas to more urban wage sector employment. We use two censuses conducted five years apart which perfectly bracket the road construction period. The data allow us to identify households that moved in the intervening five year period, thereby correcting any endogenous movement attributable to the road construction. ...
