An econometric analysis of output supply and input demand in the Oregon softwood lumber and plywood industries

Creator:: Guerrero Ochoa, Isabel G.
Abstract:: The present study employs a normalized restricted quadratic profit function approach to estimate lumber and plywood supply and Marshallian factor demand elasticities for four region-product combinations in Oregon for the period 1970-2010. The four log demand functions will be employed as the "demand side" of the log market model of...

An evaluation of two timber supply models for state assessments

Creator:: Sutfin, Thomas William
Abstract:: The objectives of this paper are to: (1) describe the structure and output of SHRUB and RMS8O, (2) evaluate their respective ability to satisfy the needs of a state level timber assessment, and (3) demonstrate their application to forest planning using the state of California as the focus of a...

An econometric model of hardwood lumber and stumpage markets in the United States

Creator:: Lange, William J.
Abstract:: Two econometric models were developed to forecast consumption, production, and price of hardwood lumber, and removals and price of hardwood sawlog stumpage. Four eastern U.S. regions were represented in the models. Hardwood lumber consumption by manufacturing, shipping, residential construction, and nonresidential construction industries was recognized. Hardwood sawlog stumpage removals from...

A model of Pacific Rim log and lumber markets : structure and projections

Creator:: Katz, Andres
Abstract:: To facilitate policy making and improve understanding of issues facing the New Zealand forest sector, a spatial equilibrium model was developed for log and lumber trade in the Pacific Rim. Regions included in the model were New Zealand, Chile, Australia, Japan, Eastern Canada, British Columbia: Coast and Interior, and the...

Forest acreage trends in the Southeast : econometric analysis and policy simulations

Creator:: Alig, Ralph J.
Abstract:: The objective of this study was to develop a system based on economic criteria for projecting changes in land use areas. The total land base was partitioned among three classes of private forest owners and crop, pasture/range, and urban/other uses in the southeastern United States. The fraction of the land...

An economic assessment of western Oregon's private forests with streamside management restrictions

Creator:: Schillinger, Randall R.
Abstract:: Management restrictions are simulated on streamside acres owned by private interests in western Oregon to assess forest inventory and log market implications. A dynamic, nonlinear optimization model of western Oregon's softwood log market simulates the resource and economic impacts of set-aside and minimum harvest age restrictions on forest acreage within...

Nonindustrial forests, public policy and long-term timber supply in the South

Creator:: Brooks, David J.
Abstract:: Forest Service projections of the long-term supply and demand for forest products indicate that increasing importance will be placed on the supply behavior of nonindustrial private forest owners in the South. The inventory model on which these projections are based may produce biased estimates of southern timber production, however, as...

Economic modeling of tropical deforestation in Antioquia (Colombia), 1980-2000 : an analysis at a semi-fine scale with spatially explicit data

Creator:: Orrego, Sergio A.
Abstract:: This dissertation used land rent theory and an economic model of land-use conversion to examine the main drivers of the deforestation occurred in Antioquia,Colombia, between 1980 and 2000. Land-cover information at a semi-fine scale (1:25,000) obtained largely from aerial photography was employed to calculate deforestation. In addition, free international databases...

A comparison of subregional lumber, plywood and log markets in the Douglas-fir region

Creator:: Haven, Lisa
Abstract:: Subregional log market differences are defined and analyzed. Seven demand and seven supply centers are initially specified. Log demand factors inspected are mill capacity, processed wood species, cost and profitability conditions distinguished by product and subregion. They are preliminarily linked to a regional market model through product price transmission. An...

Effects of econometric and activity analysis derived supply curves on Canadian sawmilling industry market forecasts

Creator:: Latta, Gregory S.
Abstract:: This study utilizes the Timber Assessment Market Model (TAMM) to examine the differences in Canadian softwood lumber market forecasts arising from econometric versus activity analysis supply curves. A restricted profit function approach is applied to three lumber producing regions using the most recent data available on costs, prices, and output...
