Forest carbon sink is an approach to realize the compensation of forest ecological values, originated from Kyoto Protocol. Forest carbon sink can promote economic sustainable development and help developed nations implement their GHGs emission reduction. But it may influence the local ecological...

The use of forests as carbon sinks is examined by introducing carbon sequestration benefits’ accounting in a multi-vintage land allocation model. Following the IPCC, three carbon accounting methods are considered. We compare the results in each case with those without carbon sequestration, as...

Given that widespread degradation of tropical forests causes the release of similar amounts of greenhouse gases as deforestation, managed forests could mitigate global warming while contributing to sustainable development. Unfortunately, in the international debates leading up to a post-Kyoto...

The possibility of encouraging the growth of forests as a means of sequestering carbon dioxide has received considerable attention because of concerns about the threat of global climate change due to the greenhouse effect. In fact, this approach is an explicit element of both U.S. and...

Governments contracting with private agents for the provision of an impure public good must contend with agents who would potentially supply the good absent any payments. This additionality problem is centrally important to the use of carbon offsets to mitigate climate change. We analyze optimal...
