Economically optimal cutting cycle in a beech forest, Iranian Caspian Forests
The aim of this study was to determine the optimal cutting cycle in an uneven-aged beech forest in the North of Iran. First of all, a logistic growth model was determined for an uneven aged forest. Then, the stumpage price was predicted via an autoregressive model. The average stumpage price of beech was derived from actual timber, round wood, fire and pulpwood prices at road side minus the var...
متن کاملAn Environmental Accountant’s Dilemma: Are Stumpage Prices Reliable Indicators of Resource Scarcity?
In resource accounting, shadow prices of natural resources and environmental effects should be used as the social marginal value of goods. Since it is difficult to measure shadow prices in practice, market prices are often used as proxies for shadow prices. A prerequisite for the use of these proxies is that there is an established relationship between size of the natural resource stock of inte...
متن کاملAn Input-Output Analysis of the Incremental Contributions of Timber Harvests to the Regional Economies
An input-output analysis using IMPLAN was employed to quantify the incremental contributions of timber harvests to the regional economies of the South and Pacific Northwest United States. The primary objective was to compare the economic impacts of a one-million board foot (MMBF) change in harvest on the respective regional economies. Output, value added, personal income, and employment multipl...
متن کاملDecision making in forest management with consideration of stochastic prices
The optimal harvesting policy is calculated as a function of the entering stock, the price state, the harvesting cost, and the rate of interest in the capital market. In order to determine the optimal harvest schedule, the growth function and stumpage price process are estimated for the Swedish mixed species forests. The stumpage price is assumed to follow a stochastic Markov process. A stoch...
متن کاملTimber Price Dynamics following a Natural Catastrophe
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 1989. To estimate the shortand long-run effects of the hurricane on the prices of timber stocks, we estimated...
