Deadwood is recognized as one of the most important resources affecting forest biodiversity. Its absence from the forest landscape is, therefore, of concern, such that one official Swedish environmental objective is to increase the volume of deadwood. However, increasing the use of renewable...

Based on the Johansen's cointegration method, this study analyses the convergence of the Finnish and Estonian coniferous prices and if there exist any long rum relationships between the wood assortments and species. The data is monthly time series from nominal delivery prices of spruce and pine...

The main objective of this paper is to analyze the potential goal conflict between two of Sweden’s environmental objectives: Sustainable Forests and Reduced Climate Impact – or, more precisely, the conflict between forest conservation and the supply of wood fuel. To accomplish this, we use a...

We consider two economic agents, a timber and log supplier and a lumber manufacturer, endowed with the mean-variance utility preferences that negotiate according to the Nash bargaining game. We study both negotiation and renegotiation between a supplier that can be either public-oriented or...

The ClimWood2030 study, commissioned by DG CLIMA of the European Commission, quantifies the five ways in which the EU forest sector contributes to climate change mitigation: carbon sequestration and storage in EU forests, carbon storage in harvested wood products in the EU, substitution of wood...

Applying logistics principles within production technologies is not an objective or not even a magic potion. It is a tool for getting and maintaining some competitive advantage. This is true in the case of production technology of arboreal biomass for heating purposes too. The produce is not...
