Specifically, we investigate the impact of an asymmetric carbon policy that … of not recognizing positive emissions from a reduction in the stock of forest biomass, or of not recognizing negative … emissions from the growth of forest biomass. We show that asymmetric carbon policies lead to lower levels of welfare, as well as …

In this study we estimate the passive use value of forest in different ecological zones in the Mediterranean region. We … hectare for each country. The total annual amount of passive use value of the Mediterranean forest is about one billion … international dollars. The estimated passive use value of the forest from this study can be used to account for the social welfare …

Using three instruments of forest exploitation, the study shows how rural …, agricultural and national population growths affect forest-area and agricultural-land. In this particular study the findings … indicate that instruments of forest exploitation do not explain changes in forest-area and agricultural-land beyond population …

IAMs with the complex dynamic structure of forests and forest supply is a daunting intertemporal task. This study examines … the market for woody biomass by combining the integrated assessment model WITCH with the global dynamic forestry model GTM … biomass program. Forest area will expand by 70-95% leading to increased storage of 685-1,279 GtCO2 in forest by 2100. Overall …

A tax-fund system has been proposed to advance Swedish forest conservation. We present a choice experiment with Swedish … private forest owners on preferences for attributes of a tax-fund system. Focusing on three aspects: (i) freedom to choose set …-asides, (ii) equity issues, and (iii) frequency of nature inventories, we find two groups of forest owners. The first is opposed …
