Abstract

This study identifies the demand for distributional impact assessment related to forest policies and projects and the linkages between distributional impacts and sustainable development. An integrated model is developed to assess distributional impact of forest policies and projects. The procedures of distributional impact assessment are discussed Emphasis is placed on the usefulness of the model in practice by integrating monetary and nonmonetary measures. The distributional impacts of the introduction of structural particleboard technology are assessed to illustrate the use of the model. The results show that useful information can be obtained by this integrated approach.
