The purpose of this project is to empirically evaluate the roles of poverty, commercialization, population pressure, and property right/resource management mechanisms on the sustainability of local forest resources in the middle Himalayan region in Northern India. It will involve collection and analysis of data from approximately 100 villages in the two states of Uttar Pradesh and Himachal Pradesh. The first stage will involve estimating individual household-level 'demand' for common forest resources, as a function of household demographic and economic characteristics, and village level variables such as prices of complementary and substitute products, market access, property rights system, and local governance/enforcement mechanisms. These demand systems will be used to obtain reduced form estimates for aggregate village use of common forest resources as a function of village characteristics. The second stage of the project will investigate determinants of local governance and enforcement mechanisms.

该项目的目的是凭经验评估贫困，商业化，人口压力和财产权利/资源管理机制对印度北部喜马拉雅地区当地森林资源可持续性的可持续性的作用。 它将涉及北方邦和喜马al邦两个州大约100个村庄的数据收集和分析。 第一阶段将涉及估计对共同森林资源的单个家庭层面的“需求”，这是家庭人口和经济特征的函数，以及乡村级别的变量，例如补充和替代产品的价格，市场获取，财​​产权系统以及当地治理/执法机制。 这些需求系统将用于获得减少的形式估计值，用于乡村使用普通森林资源作为乡村特征的函数。 该项目的第二阶段将调查地方治理和执法机制的决定因素。
