Do local people, especially vulnerable households, benefit from devolution of forest management? The authors apply the propensity-score matching and decomposition techniques on household data from Chimaliro and Liwonde forest reserves under the pilot forest co-management program in Malawi. After ...

Do the poor benefit from devolution policies?: evidence from Malawi’s forest co-management program
This paper compares four different modelling approaches to agricultural expansion and deforestation, and explores the implications of assumptions about the household objectives, the labour market, and the property rights regime. A major distinction is made between population and market based expl...

Agricultural expansion and deforestation: modelling the impact of population, market forces and property rights
The authors develop an endogenous sample selection model to investigate how forest dependence influences a household's decision to participate in forest co-management program. Using data from Chimaliro and Liwonde forest reserves in Malawi, The authors find that where forests primarily have a gap...

This paper explores possible strategic interactions between the state and local community in games of tropical forest land appropriation. Three typical cases are discussed, corresponding to a development over time of increased resource competition and market integration. The local response to mor...

In the growing literature at the interface of rural livelihood improvement and conservation of natural forests, two overarching issues stand out: (1) How and to what extent use of forest resources do and can contribute to poverty alleviation and (2) How and to what extent poverty alleviation and ...

There is a range of forest management systems between pure extraction and plantation systems. Such ‘‘intermediate systems’’ range from wild forests modified for increased production of selected products to anthropogenic forests with a high-density of valuable species growing within a relatively d...

Researchers have long argued that improved livestock technologies and intensification will reduce the pressure on Latin America's forests. This article combines economic theory with insights from seven case studies to examine under what conditions technological change will reduce (or increase) fo...

Will livestock intensification help save Latin America's tropical forest?
In many parts of Latin America coffee is produced in forest garden systems, which fulfill a variety of household needs, enhance food security, and conserve biodiversity. We investigate drivers in the emergence, persistence, and decline of coffee forest gardens, using a case study in southern Mexi...

This paper addresses the following question: What determines household s choice of fuelwood collection source? We address this question by estimating the multinomial probit model using survey data for households surrounding Chimaliro and Liwonde forest reserves in Malawi. After controlling for h...

Declining proi tability of agriculture and/or higher prices of forest products and services typically drive an increase in forest cover. This article examines changes in forest cover in Candelaria Loxicha, Mexico. Forest cover increased in the area as a result of coffee cultivation in coffee fore...
