Catastrophic shocks to existing stocks of a renewable resource can cause long‐run price shifts. With timber, these long‐run price shifts may be accompanied by a short‐run price drop due to salvage. Hurricane Hugo damaged 20% of southern pine timber in the South Carolina Coastal Plain in...

This article develops a two‐factor real options model of the harvesting decision over infinite rotations assuming a known stochastic price process and using a rigorous Hamilton‐Jacobi‐Bellman methodology. The harvesting problem is formulated as a linear complementarity problem that is...

Governments provide technical, political, and financial incentives to encourage timber harvesting for the purpose of mitigating natural forest disturbance. To provide guidance concerning these incentives, this paper integrates a natural disturbance regime into a dynamic model of forest...

Continuous‐time models of natural resource prices usually preclude the possibility of large changes (jumps) resulting from unexpected events. To test for the presence of jumps and/or ARCH effects, we combine bounds and the Monte Carlo test technique to obtain finite‐sample, level‐exact...

Germany is an undervaluation regime, a regime that steers economic behavior towards deterioration of the real exchange rate and thereby towards export surpluses. This regime has brought the eurozone to the brink of collapse. But it is much older than the euro. It was established during the...

We use the case of the timber industry in Myanmar to analyse how national regulatory frameworks and international ecological discourses affect forest management and small businesses. The state plays two roles in the timber industry in Myanmar: it is the main producer and legal source of raw...

Export restraints by the Russian Federation on natural gas and timber have been the source of major controversy between the European Union and the Russian Federation. The analysis of this paper suggests that the export restraints in natural gas very substantially benefit Russia. On the other...

Wood Energy in the ECE Region highlights the use of wood for energy and includes the most recent statistics on wood energy markets across the UNECE region. It aims to communicate the relevance of wood energy in the region and help bridge information about the forest and energy sectors. It also...

Um die Nachhaltigkeit wirtschaftlicher Prozesse und Produkte dauerhaft zu erhöhen, ist ein Übergang von der gegenwärtigen, vorwiegend auf fossilen Rohstoffen basierenden "Durchflusswirtschaft" zu einer auf nachwachsende Rohstoffe ausgerichteten Kreislaufwirtschaft, der sogenannten...

Illegal Logging is one of the major global causes for deforestation and the degradation of forests. The further manufacturing of illegally logged wood and products made thereof as well as the associated trade has also negative social and economic effects on both sides of the wood markets, the...

This paper presents an empirical analysis of the linkage between external timber trade in Ghana and the increased incidence of illegal chainsaw operations which do not only threaten the country's forests and other natural resources but also the erosion of the basis for sustainable agriculture...

In Slovakian forestry the main source of finance is the wood sale. The main aim of this paper is to evaluate the assortments supply structure (quality management), prices development for the coniferous sawlogs and to set the future prediction of this development in new global market conditions,...
