  • The economics of carbon sequestration in western Oregon forests

    Creator:
    Im, Eun Ho
    Abstract:
    This study considered regional forest policies for sequestering carbon in existing forests in western Oregon. A model of log markets in western Oregon was employed to examine the impacts of forest policy changes on future carbon stock, harvests, and management activities.

    Helvoigt, Ted L.
    Abstract:
    The objective of this project was to investigate technical efficiency and productivity growth in the Pacific Northwest sawmilling industry over the period 1968-2002. Productivity growth was decomposed into three components: technical change, efficiency change, and scale efficiency change. In addition, using econometric methods, changes in output elasticities and input substitution...

  • Carbon flux patterns on U.S. public timberlands under alternative timber harvest policies

    Creator:
    Shanks, Alyssa V.
    Abstract:
    This study considers trade-offs between timber harvest and carbon sequestration on National Forest and other public lands by contemporaneously linking a model of public harvest and inventory to a carbon accounting system. The public harvest model treats three harvest scenarios. The first minimizes the cost of meeting harvest requests that...
