这项研究利用埃塞俄比亚农村家庭随机抽样的数据，审查了地方一级机构和产权制度在非木材森林产品方面对森林-贫穷联系的作用。样本中的家庭约有8.7%的收入来自这些产品。对不同类型的森林产权制度分别审查了森林依赖性的决定因素。研究结果表明，林业管理权力下放提高了穷人对资源的利用，同时减少了富人对资源的依赖。我们的估计结果，这是一致的不同措施的森林依赖性，也表明，地方一级的机构是不重要的因素，在确定使用非木材森林产品，结果不同于木材和其他木质材料的分析。从研究结果中，我们得出结论，森林与贫穷之间的联系不可能一概而论，因为这种联系取决于森林管理的类型和该地区普遍存在的具体特点。
This study examines the role of local level institutions and property right regimes on the forest-poverty link, with respect to non-wood forest products, using data from a random sample of rural households in Ethiopia. Households in the sample derive approximately 8.7% of their income from these products. The determinants of forest dependency were examined separately for different types of forest property right regimes. The findings suggest that forestry management devolution enhances resource use by the poor, while reducing dependency among the rich. Our estimation results, which are consistent across the different measures of forest dependency, also suggest that local level institutions are not significant factors in determining the use of non-wood forest products, a result that differs from the analysis of timber and other woody materials. From the study results, we conclude that generalizations of the forest-poverty link are not possible, as the link depends on the type of forest management and the specific characteristics that prevail in the area.
