| Título: | Efficiency of Timber Production in Community and Private Forestry in Nepal |

| Resumen: | This study compares the management performance of timber production among three management systems in Nepal: private forestry, community forestry with collective management, and community forestry with centralized management. While collective management relies entirely on community labor for the whole management, centralized management uses community labor for the protection of forests and hired labor for silvicultural operations, for example weeding, pruning, and thinning. We found that collective community management is less costly for the protection of planted trees but allocates less labor for the management of trees than private management. We also found that centralized management of natural forests leads to higher revenue and profit than collective management. These findings support the hypothesis that, while collective management is more efficient than private management for the protection of trees due to effective mutual supervision, profit seeking private management or centralized management is more efficient than collective management for silvicultural operations due to superior work incentives. This study, however, failed to compare efficiency of private and centralized management. |

| Título: | Potential Demand for Drought Insurance in Burkina Faso and Its Determinants |

| Resumen: | The objectives of this paper are twofold: to estimate demand for formal drought insurance using farm household data in Burkina Faso and to find what determines insurance demand. The following findings are salient. First, effective demand is found in all zones, which implies inadequacies in households’ current self-insurance strategies. Second, there is much heterogeneity in the strategies to self-insure even within zones. Third, the expectation of public food aid decreases demand for drought insurance, which suggests that food aid is causing moral hazard. Fourth, households with large livestock holdings can reduce the size of herd by substituting drought insurance for livestock holdings. |
