FPEI Working Papers

The Forestry Private Enterprise Initiative is a program of technical assistance and research for the forest-based private enterprise sector of developing countries. It is based on the hypothesis that assistance to developing countries is most effective when it is directed at the specific needs of individual economics sectors.
FPEI working papers are a special series of SCFER working papers issued by the Southeastern Center for Forest Economics Research for the purpose of sharing the research findings of the Forestry Private Enterprise Initiative. These papers are distributed in order to promote the timely release of new theories, data, and findings. Working papers represent various levels of research findings and readers are encouraged to contact the author(s) for more information. Some of the papers may be published in modified form elsewhere.
Copies of FPEI working papers are available from: SCFER, P.O. Box 12254, Research Triangle Park, NC 27709 USA, (919) 549-4093. A few are being made available here in Adobe Acrobat (pdf) format. See ADOBE's site if you need a (free) reader for this format.
