The Patterns of Pulpwood Trade within the US South
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Southern timber market is the major source of both softwood and hardwood pulpwood in the US. In 1997, three-fourths of total US pulpwood production was produced in the region. The locations of pulpmills and fiber sources determine the patterns of pulpwood trade between the states. Prediction of trade is important for understanding subregional pulpwood markets in the US South and for timber inventory projections on a subregional level. In this paper we estimate determinants of pulpwood trade flows among the states of the US South using a gravity model.
