Amenities and Risk in Forest Management
Couture, Stephane; Marielle, Brunette; Langlais, Eric - 2011
The objective of the paper is to analyze the risk management behavior of a non-industrial private forest owner under … uncertainty about the timber production. Two types of hedging strategies with harvesting decisions are studied: a financial … practice versus a physical one. We develop a two-period model of hedging and harvesting decisions when the forest owner values …

Optimal Location of New Forests in a Suburban Region
Moons, Ellen - 2014
This paper looks at the optimal location of new forests in a suburban region under area constraints. The GIS-based methodology takes into account use benefits such as timber, hunting, carbon sequestration and recreation, non-use benefits (both bequest and existence values), opportunity costs of...

20 Years of Stated Preference Valuation of Non-Timber Benefits from Fennoscandian Forests : A Meta-Analysis
Lindhjem, Henrik - 2008
Stated preference (SP) surveys have been conducted to value non-timber benefits (NTBs) from forests in Norway, Sweden and Finland for about 20 years. The paper first reviews the literature and summarises methodological traditions in SP research in the three countries. Second, a meta-regression...

Permanent forest investment in a climate of uncertainty
Grimes, Arthur; Cortés Acosta, Sandra - 2021
Forestry investment involves long time horizons, and planting decisions must be made amidst a range of uncertainties. In the context of these uncertainties, we analyse investment decisions that involve plantation of existing grazing land in exotic versus indigenous forest species. We discuss how...

Leveraging global climate finance for sustainable forests : opportunities and conditions for successful foreign aid to the forestry sector
Pascual, Unai; Garmendia, Eneko; Phelps, Jacob; Ojea, Elena - 2013
Forest loss and degradation remains a leading environmental problem. The long history of sustainable forest management has often failed to meet expectations - constrained by funding, governance, capacity and competing interests. Initiatives from the climate change policy arena are opening new...

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...
