abstract: 'Using secondary data from a socio-economic quantitative household survey
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
of the North Central region of Vietnam, the main aim of our study is to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
analyze the causal effect of forest resources on household income and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
poverty. Based on the observed characteristics of a forest-based
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
livelihood and forest-related activities, we use a propensity score
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
matching (PSM) method to control for potential bias arising from
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
self-selection. The PSM results indicate that households with a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
forest-based livelihood had a higher level of income and lower poverty
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
rates than did those without. Interestingly, our findings confirm that a
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
forest-based livelihood offers much higher income than any other type of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
livelihood adopted by local households. Also, the poverty rate among
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
households with a forest-based livelihood is lower than those earning
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
non-labor income or engaged in wage/crop and crop livelihoods. Among
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
households and provinces, we find varying opportunities deriving from
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
forest resources, suggesting that there are potential barriers hindering
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
local households from pursuing a forest livelihood or participating in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
some forest activities. Therefore, government policy and regulations on
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
forest management should focus on improving the access of households to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
forest resources, while enhancing the sustainability of these resources.'
