An integrated model is developed to assess distributional impact of forest policies and proje cts. The procedures of distributional impact assessment are discussed Emphasis is placed on the usefulness of the model in practice by integ rating monetary and nonmonetary measures. The distributional impacts o f the introduction of structural particleboard technology are assessed to illustrate the use of the model. The results show that useful info rmation can be obtained by this integrated approach.
