Abstract:	"We argue that forest stocking indexes are an important and valuable way to look at 10 the effects of forest institutions. This method can be especially useful when doing comparative institutioal analysis as it provides a common metric to evaluate such institutions across diverse ecologies. As an example of the application of the method, evidence from Uganda is presented to show how decentralization policies reduced overall stocking in many types of Ugandan forests."
