The Economic Theory of Community Forestry
Routledge (Verlag)
978-1-138-10072-5 (ISBN)
The Economic Theory of Community Forestry aims to address this gap and provides the tools for understanding community forestry movement as an alternative form of ownership that can mobilize community resources and encourage innovation. It uses a wide range of economic principles to show how community forestry can be economically superior to conventional forestry; provides examples from Canadian practice; and discusses the regulatory regime that policy makers must put in place to benefit from community forestry.
This book will be of interest to policy makers, activists, community forestry managers and members, foresters and forestry students.
David Robinson teaches resource economics, econometrics and game theory in the School of Northern and Community Studies at Laurentian University in Northern Ontario, Canada.
