Traditional Energy Programs with an Open Access Forest Resource: Policy Implications

Harry Clarke and Ram M. Shrestha

The Energy Journal, 1989, vol. Volume 10, issue Number 4, 45-57

Abstract: Policies for managing a forest subject to open access exploitation are discussed from the viewpoint of encouraging greater efficiency in the use of woodfuels. The usefulness of market and non-market policy options formanagingforestresources is shown to depend on whether fuelwood collection is the major cause of deforestation or not and, if so, whether fuelwood collection procedures have a market valuation.
