It is often argued that forest sectors may benefit from the introduction of an economy-wide carbon tax. This is due to the fact that wood products have generally lower carbon content than their direct substitute. We test this assumption numerically using the French Forest Sector Model (Caurla et...

Forests can contribute to climate mitigation by sequestrating carbon in forest biomass andby replacing fossil-fuel with fuelwood, with potentially conflicting implications for forest management.The present paper assesses the mitigation and the economic impacts of a "stock" policy(payment for...

In the context of climate change and of increasing energy prices, the share of fuelwood in primary energy consumption may increase, especially in countries with large forest endowments. However, larger fuelwood consumption may have non-negligible impacts on forest sectors. This paper assesses...

Discussions regarding the efficiency of climate change mitigation efforts are predicated on future costs and benefits and thus heavily influenced by discounting. One such regime, dual discounting, involves discounting carbon values differently from non-carbon values; the argument being that...
