0109925Schmink / Wallace This dissertation research project in cultural anthropology studies the effects of markets and household wealth on the extraction of resources from the tropical forest in the Brazilian Amazon. Combining theories and methods from microeconomics, economic anthropology and cognitive anthropology, the student will test hypotheses relating household wealth, income, extractive activities, market integration, and knowledge of forest resources among a sample of rubber tappers in the Chico Mendes Extractive Reserve of Acre, Brazil. Although previous studies examined the effects of wealth and markets on household livelihood strategies, this project advances our understanding by studying these factors in an extractive reserve, where livelihood strategies are limited; it also advances studies in cognitive anthropology by relating intra-cultural variation in rubber tapper knowledge of forest resources to the economic factors that contribute to shape livelihood strategies. The project will examine changes over time, comparing research findings from 1996 with current data, to provide policymakers a yardstick for measuring change in the reserve. This new knowledge will be valuable for creating policy in other tropical forest protected areas. The project also advances our knowledge about this important region of the world, and contributes to the training of a young social scientist.

0109925 Schmink/ Wallace这篇文化人类学的论文研究项目研究了市场和家庭财富对巴西亚马逊热带森林资源开采的影响。 结合微观经济学，经济人类学和认知人类学的理论和方法，学生将测试假设有关家庭财富，收入，采掘活动，市场一体化，和森林资源的知识之间的一个样本中的橡胶采集在奇科门德斯英亩，巴西的提取储备。虽然以前的研究探讨了家庭生计战略的财富和市场的影响，本项目通过研究这些因素在采掘储备，在生计策略是有限的，它也推进了认知人类学的研究，通过相关的文化内变化的橡胶采集知识的森林资源的经济因素，有助于形成生计战略。 该项目将审查一段时间以来的变化，将1996年的研究结果与目前的数据进行比较，为决策者提供衡量储备变化的尺度。 这一新知识将对其他热带森林保护区制定政策有价值。 该项目还增进了我们对世界这一重要地区的了解，并有助于培养一名年轻的社会科学家。
