Attitudes Towards Risk of Forest Dependent Communities Evidence from Andhra Pradesh
Published By: IIMA on eSS | Published Date: 01This study is an attempt to generate empirical evidence on attitude towards risk of forest dependent
communities (FDCs). The FDCs covered in the study include two different geographical regions
from the Indian state of Andhra Pradesh – Rayalaseema (a relatively dry forest region with low
income) and the coastal region (relatively fertile forest and with higher income). Attitude towards
risk was measured as the revealed degree of risk aversion (as a constant relative risk aversion
coefficient) from the multiple price list methodology. [IIMA W.P. No. 2013-12-01].
