• Fuel demand elasticities for energy and environmental policies: Indian sample survey evidence (2008, background): “This is consistent with the observation that households are very sensitive to the relative (implicit) price of various fuels and fuel sources (Köhlin and Parks, 2001).”
• Do timber plantations contribute to forest conservation (2016, background): “Theoretical models Köhlin and Parks (2001)”
• The importance of local forest benefits: Economic valuation of Non-Timber Forest Products in the Eastern Arc Mountains in Tanzania (2014, unknown): “…NTFP harvesting behaviour as predicted by economic theory: the distance from the household to the NTFP harvesting location is positively correlated with the opportunity costs of labour and time spent to collect NTFPs (e.g., Amacher et al., 1996; Köhlin and Parks, 2001; Pattanayak and Sills, 2001).”
• Designing and Implementing Effective REDD + Policies: A Forest Transition Approach (2013, background): “For example, the establishment of tree plantations in India has relieved pressures on nearby natural forests (Köhlin and Parks 2001). Another important study on India, by Foster and Rosenzweig (2003), finds that forest growth is closely linked to higher local demand for forest products.”
• Fuelwood, forests and community management – evidence from household studies (2008, background): “For example, Köhlin and Parks (2001) show that community plantations decrease the collection in open access natural forests in Orissa.”
• Urban energy transition and technology adoption: the case of Tigrai, northern Ethiopia. (2012, result): “Much of the previous studies (cf. Amacher et al. 1993 and 1996; Heltberg, Arndt and Sekhar, 2000; Kohlin and Parks, 2001) have emphasized on the rural-side and little has been done with respect urban dimension of the fuel problem.”
