The economics of desertification, land degradation, and drought: Toward an integrated global assessment (2011, unknown): “For example, tree cutting reduces the availability of fuelwood, which in turn increases the labor input required for collecting fuelwood (Cooke et al. 2008).”
The forest transition: Towards a more comprehensive theoretical framework☆ (2010, background): “In their review of household studies of fuelwood scarcity and se, Cooke et al. (2008) also find that ill-defined property rights and enure insecurity have similar effects on the extraction of fuelwood rom forests by poor rural households, leading to excessive depleion and degradation of forests…”
Poverty and firewood consumption : A case study of rural households in northern China (2011, background): “Most papers tend to find a small and negative or insignificant income elasticity of firewood consumption (Cooke et al., 2008; Hyde & Köhlin, 2000), which entails a rather limited impact of poverty reduction on forest degradation.”
Unbelievable but improved cookstoves are not helpful in reducing firewood demand in Nepal (2010, background): “Cooke et al. (2008) provide a review of empirical literature from three developing countries on the adoption of ICSs.”
