Determinants of Fuelwood Use in Rural Orissa: Implications for Energy Transition
Published By: SANDEE on eSS | Published Date: December, 29 , 2008This study examines household behaviour related to fuelwood collection and use. The focus is on
identifying the behavioral transition of fuelwood-using households from collection to purchase.
The study examines the theory linking households’ labour allocation decisions to choice of fuel
and models household decision using a three-stage least squares probit specification. Household
fuelwood choice (purchase/collection) is predicted based on an endogenously determined wage
income that depends on the opportunity cost of fuelwood collection.
