The European Union (EU), the United States of America (USA), and Australia have adopted specific measures to avoid the placing of illegal timber on their markets. These measures might encourage the diversion of timber products from traditional large importers to destinations with a less stringent regulatory framework. During 2001–2013, the international trade in tropical primary timber products...

This study examined market demand and supply of Cordia millenii (Ọmọ) Sawnwood in Bodija sawnwood so that stakeholders involved the economies will make appropriate economic decisions thereby ensuring sustainable utilization species. is made up nine zones comprising 66 blocks 1868 stalls. Five were purposively selected based on abundance Ọmọ marketers zones. Simple random sampling was then used ...

Timber supply has traditionally been modelled using aggregate data. In this paper, we build aggregate supply models for four roundwood products for the US state of North Carolina from a stand-level harvest choice model applied to detailed forest inventory. The simulated elasticities of pulpwood supply are much lower than reported by previous studies. Cross price elasticities indicate a dominant...

Forest-based natural catastrophes are regular features of timber production in the United States, especially from hurricanes, fires, and insect and disease outbreaks. These catastrophes affect timber prices and result in economic transfers. We develop a model of timber market dynamics after such a catastrophe that shows how timber salvage affects the welfare of different market groups and quant...

Timber suply modeling has evolved from examining inventory sustainability based on growth/drain relationships to sophisticated inventory and supply models. These analyses have consistently recognized regional, ownership (public/private), and species group (hardwood/softwood) differences. Recognition of product differences is fundamental to market analysis which traditionally focus on sawtimber ...

The main goal of this review was to provide an assessment the potential fast-growing tree species for suitable transformation agroforestry areas biomass production in Baltic Sea region. Our interest highlight research on management process zones by establishing short rotation plantations with Salix spp., Populus spp. and Alnus explore prospects planning these as producers. Short forestry (SRF) ...

Using survey data and an equilibrium displacement model, we estimate the market and economic impacts of the American Forest and Paper Association’s Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI) on stumpage markets in the US South. We examine four timber product markets: softwood pulpwood, softwood sawtimber, hardwood pulpwood, and hardwood sawtimber. In each market we calculate changes in producer and ...
