移民对赞比亚农村地区的燃料使用有何影响？在这种情况下，增加收入的机会可能很少；作为回应，家庭可能会采取移民战略来增加资源并降低风险。移民汇款可能使家庭能够从对木柴的主要依赖转向对木炭的依赖，而移民造成的生产性劳动力的损失可能会加剧这种转变。本文使用作为赞比亚农村儿童补助计划一部分收集的四波面板数据来研究移民与选择木柴或木炭作为烹饪燃料之间的联系，并找到这两种机制的证据。重要的是，本文将移民视为一个过程，包括迁出和回返，并将其置于家庭动态的总体背景下。实证结果表明，虽然移民有助于使家庭不再以柴火作为燃料来源，但回迁会使他们回归，但由于柴火更常见，迁移的总体影响是使家庭从主要依赖柴火转向木炭。
What is the effect of migration on fuel use in rural Zambia? Opportunities to increase income can be scarce in this setting; in response, households may pursue a migration strategy to increase resources as well as to mitigate risk. Migrant remittances may make it possible for households to shift from primary reliance on firewood to charcoal, and the loss of productive labor through migration may reinforce this shift. This paper uses four waves of panel data collected as part of the Child Grant Programme in rural Zambia to examine the connection between migration and the choice of firewood or charcoal as cooking fuel and finds evidence for both mechanisms. Importantly, this paper considers migration as a process, including out- as well as return migration, embedding it in the context of household dynamics generally. Empirical results suggest that while migration helps move households away from firewood as a fuel source, return migration moves them back, but because firewood is more common, the overall effect of migration is to shift households away from primary reliance on firewood towards charcoal.
