Property Rights and Deforestation: The Choice of Fuelwood Source in Rural Viet Nam
分析了越南农村家庭选择不同薪柴来源（包括导致森林砍伐的开放获取区域）的行为，发现用户权利种植园与开放获取区域之间存在较强的替代效应，表明推广种植园燃料可能是遏制森林砍伐的有效政策。
<i>This paper analyses the choice of fuelwood supply sources in rural Viet Nam, of which one, the open-access area, is subjected to deforestation. A random parameter logit estimation allows us to calculate cross elasticities between the various sources, using derived shadow prices for fuelwood from each source. We find a relatively stronger substitution effect emerging between user-right plantation and open-access areas. This implies that a policy intervention of fuel from plantations might be an efficient option to halt deforestation. Analysis of producer surplus measures explains the reluctance by households to accept managerial responsibilities of open-access areas.</i>
