Table 1 also shows the average share of kerosene purchased from the private market as opposed to the subsidized public distribution system. Villagers obtain fuel from two sources, purchasing kerosene and collecting fuelwood; private woodlot production is assumed to be suboptimal. The subsidy necessary to induce higher-income households to use kerosene, which is the major alternative to fuelwood, is also predicted to be extremely high. Added to this was crude oil and hydrocarbon products including petrol, diesel, kerosene, liquefied petroleum gas and residual fuel oil. Because upfront costs of kerosene stoves are substantial, stove ownership is usually treated as a fixed household characteristic. Provision of kerosene or gas is needed to ensure that the workers do not depend on nearby forests for fuel wood. Between experiments, the traps were cleaned with kerosene, which was allowed to dry out before polybutene was applied newly with every experiment/ replicate. Cooking is usually done in semi-enclosed shelters in the yard, on wood fires or kerosene stoves. However, this is not the case for firewood users, most of whom use kerosene as well. In addition, more than 300 million tons of crude oil, gasoline, kerosene, diesel, and fuel oil were used for non-agricultural purposes. As for kerosene, the likelihood first rises at low incomes, peaks at the third decile, and then declines. This result is virtually the same as in the kerosene subsidy case. The effect of kerosene price is much smaller and more ambiguous. When we look specifically at the rural poor, firewood is universal, much fewer have electricity, and instead kerosene is more important.
