AbstractWe examine the environmental impacts of a cash transfer program in rural Zambia and investigate whether variation in market access is associated with heterogeneous impacts on natural resource use. We consider households’ use of firewood, charcoal, bushmeat and land for farming, as well as their ownership of non-farm businesses. We find that cash transfers increase the likelihood of charcoal consumption as well as the amount consumed for those living close to paved roads. The transfers also enable households to increase the size of their farms and establish non-farm businesses. These impacts are most pronounced for those living far from paved roads. While remoteness is associated with farm expansion in response to the cash transfer, more education causes those receiving the transfer to decrease the size of their farms. This impact heterogeneity has important implications for sustainable development.

Environment and Development Economics (EDE) was established 15 years ago to provide a publication outlet for theoretical and applied scientific papers dealing with issues at the intersection of environmental, resource and development economics, as well as to actively support capacity building in the developing world. In the years since its inception, EDE has published a large number of articles on topics ranging from sustainable development, the environmental Kuznets curve, and green accounting, to trade and environment, poverty and natural resource use, and the economics of ecosystems.
