The Energy Journal, 1989, vol. 10, issue 4, 45-58

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 ofmarket and non-market policy options for managingforest resources 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.
