This paper analyzes socially optimal forest taxation when the government has a binding tax revenue requirement. In the Faustmann model the optimal design of forest taxation consists of non-distortionary taxes, such as site productivity tax, site value tax or profit tax. A combination of...

This paper analyzes the socially optimal forest taxation in the rotation framework when the government has a binding tax revenue requirement. In the Faustmann model the optimal design of taxation consists of non-distortionary taxes, such as site productivity tax, site value tax or profit tax. A...

The paper examines the theory of optimal forest management with a view to describing its transition dynamics. In contrast to the literature's emphasis on long-run behavior of optimally managed forests, we focus on the nature of the optimal policy function, which describes the harvesting and...

People have a marginal role in managing forests located in the vicinity of their villages inNorthern India. This situation is scrutinised in this paper by studying strategic play of forestusers. Thereto, a 1 versus n−1 game of people's participation in forest management is estimatedfor three...

Last century was marked by the rapid economical and scientific development: population increased by five-six times, energy use in the developed countries increased by hundred times, pollution of atmosphere and soil caused by technogenic emissions became global. Most fears among the scientists...

Die Ausgestaltung der Waldklimapolitik in Deutschland ist mit zahlreichen Interessenskonflikten verbunden und bedarf Entscheidungshilfen zu derzeitigen und künftigen Handlungsoptionen. Eine Entscheidungsgrundlage für Handlungsoptionen zur zukünftigen Waldbehandlung und Holzverwendung sind die...

Das Holz- und das Naturschutzpräferenzszenario sind alternative Szenarien, die im Waldklimafonds-Verbundforschungsprojekt 'WEHAM-Szenarien' entwickelt wurden. Mit dem Simulationsmodell WEHAM wurden auf Basis der Daten der Bundeswaldinventur 2012 die zukünftige Waldentwicklung und das...

A growing number of case studies and reports suggest that Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) play an important role in fighting against deforestation, and the penetration of ICT help decrease deforestation in a different part of world's forests. The aim of this study is to test...

We investigate how reforestation contributed to stabilization of riverine water levels in South Korea. For the purpose, we estimate an equation capturing dynamic relationships among rainfall, upstream-area tree stock, and downstream water levels in three river systems of Hongcheon, Mangyeong,...
