European forests and carbon sequestration services: an economic assessment of climate change impacts
Ding, Helen; Nunes, Paulo A. L. D.; Teelucksingh, Sonja - 2010
This paper reports an original economic valuation of the impact of climate change on the provision of forest regulating services in Europe. To the authors’ knowledge the current paper represents the first systematic attempt to estimate human well-being losses with respect to changes in...

The potential of REDD+ for carbon sequestration in tropical forests : supply curves for carbon storage for Kalimantan, Indonesia
Indrajaya, Yonky; Van der Werf, Edwin; Weikard, Hans-Peter - 2015
We study the potential of tropical multi-age multi-species forests for sequestering carbon in response to financial incentives from REDD+. The use of reduced impact logging techniques (RIL) allows a forest owner to apply for carbon credits whereas the use of conventional logging techniques (CL)...

On the economics of forest carbon : renewable and carbon neutral but not emission free
Lintunen, Jussi; Uusivuori, Jussi Ilkka - 2014 - This version: November 26, 2013
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...

The passive use value of the mediterranean forest
Otrachshenkoy, Vladimir - 2014
In this study we estimate the passive use value of forest in different ecological zones in the Mediterranean region. We estimate these values for forests using meta-analysis. These estimates are used to reveal the annual monetary values per hectare for each country. The total annual amount of...

Carbon storage and bioenergy : using forests for climate mitigation
Favero, Alice; Mendelsohn, Robert O.; Sohngen, Brent - 2016
The carbon mitigation literature has separately considered using forests to store carbon and as a source of bioenergy. In this paper, we look at both options to reach a 2°C mitigation target. This paper combines the global forest model, GTM, with the IAM WITCH model to study the optimal use of...
