Nepali fuelwood production and consumption: Regional and household distinctions, substitution and successful intervention
利用尼泊尔两大主要人口区域27个地区的家庭数据，分析薪柴消费与生产，发现家庭层面的回归系数与弹性比市场评估更可靠，并指出山区非市场交易家庭是干预薪柴供应和森林砍伐的最佳目标。
This article uses household data from Nepal's two major populated regions (and 27 of 59 districts within those regions) to examine fuelwood consumption and production. In contrast with a purely market assessment, household analysis includes production which is consumed in the producing household. The household regressions yield coefficients and elasticities that are very different from and more reliable than a comparable assessment of market demand and supply. Household results generally support the hypotheses that expenditures on fuelwood are a small share of total household activity and that fuelwood is not sufficiently scarce to alter household behaviour. Fuelwood is sufficiently scarce, however, to alter behaviour for those households in the hill region that do not participate in market exchange. These households may be the best targets for public market interventions designed to alter fuelwood supply and deforestation.
