First-best optimal forest sector carbon policy is examined. Using a comprehensive forest sector model with a detailed carbon cycle section we show that the renewability and carbon neutrality arguments do not warrant emission free treatment of forest bioenergy. However, under the biomass stock...

We study forestry in the Sámi people homeland region to understand an ongoing conflict between conventional forest … husbandry, and a flexible optimization between rotation forestry (cf. clearcuts) and forestry that maintains continuous forest … cover. We show that the profitability of conventional forestry is based on utilizing existing forest stands, an outcome that …

Agriculture and forestry play an important role in emitting and storing greenhouse gases. For an efficient and cost …-effective climate policy it is therefore important to explicitly include land use, land use change, and forestry (LULUCF) in … forestry into climate-economy models or to link economy-climate models to land-use models. …
