This paper presents an econometric study of residential fuelwood demand in the US. It is based on a residential energy consumption survey conducted by the US Department of Energy in 1980-81. Estimates are derived of the probability that a particular household will burn wood and of the quantity of wood that will be burned. Aggregate fuelwood demand is predicted for five census regions and for the contiguous US. The predicted average probability of burning wood is 0.32, and the average predicted quantity burned is 1.57 cords. Residential fuelwood demand is found to be quite responsive to changes in the price of nonwood heating fuel.
