Das Projekt "Assessing the direct and induced impacts of biofuel value chain activities at small-scale and village level for domestic and export biofuel value chains" wird vom Umweltbundesamt gefördert und von Leibniz Universität Hannover, Institut für Umweltökonomik und Welthandel (IUW) durchgeführt. The objective of this project is to analyze small-scale farmers integration into international and domestic biofuel value chains and to assess its impacts on village economy and the environment. The specific objectives are - 1. To examine the major determinants of producers decision to adopt the production of oil plants (palm oil, Jatropha curcas). 2. To identify the key attributes of small-scale farmers integration into domestic and international bioenergy value chains. 3. To measure the direct impact of bioenergy feedstock production on small-scale producers net-income. 4. To assess the induced effects of bioenergy feedstock production on the village economy. 5. To compare the institutional arrangement and direct / induced impacts between international and national bioenergy value chains. Methodology for this project consists of three parts: (1) Village social accounting matrix (SAM) constructed from a comprehensive Household Survey, (2) Village computable equilibrium model based on the village SAM, (3) Triangulation: econometric models will be used for quantitative analysis and supplemented with qualitative analysis.
