ethiopia | Energy Forestry Coping with Fuelwood scarcity: Household responses in rural Ethiopia This study uses survey data from randomly selected rural households in Ethiopia to examine the coping mechanisms employed by rural households to deal with fuelwood scarcity. The determinants of collecting other biomass energy sources were also examined. Damte, Abebe, Steven F. Koch and Alemu Mekonnen, 2012, "Coping with fuelwood scarcity: Household responses in rural Ethiopia", Environment for Development Discussion Paper Series January 2012, EfD DP 12-01.
ethiopia | Agriculture Forestry Policy design Private Trees as Household Assets and Determinants of Tree-Growing Behavior in Rural Ethiopia This study looked into tree-growing behavior of rural households in Ethiopia. With data collected at household and parcel levels from the four major regions of Ethiopia, we analyzed the decision to grow trees and the number of trees grown, using such econometric strategies as a zero-inflated negative binomial model, Heckman’s two-step procedure, and panel data techniques.

china | Forestry Policy design Impacts of Policy Measures on the Development of State-Owned Forests in Northeastern China: Theoretical Results and Empirical Evidence State-owned forest enterprises (SOFEs) in northeast China and Inner Mongolia play important roles both in timber production and in the maintenance of ecological security. However, since the late 1970s, forest resource and economic crises have seriously restricted these functions. Jiang Xuemei, Gong Peichen, Bostedt Göran, and Xu Jintao, 2011, “Impacts of Policy Measures on the Development of State-Owned Forests in Northeastern China: Theoretical Results and Empirical Evidence”.
