Transfer pricing alternatives for allocating logs in a forest products firm

Creator:: Keipi, Kari Juhani
Resource Type:: Dissertation

Optimal timber harvesting in uneven-aged forest stands : a discrete-time optimal-control approach

Creator:: Haight, Robert G.
Abstract:: The purpose of this dissertation is to formulate, analyze and numerically solve the dynamic harvesting problem for uneven-aged stands. The problem is to find the optimal numbers of trees to remove from diameter classes over a finite time horizon and is formulated as a discrete-time optimal-control problem with bounded control...

Regional employment impacts of timber harvest changes in Oregon

Creator:: Gustafson, Richard Dale
Abstract:: Historically the national market for forest products has greatly influenced the economies of Oregon and its regions because of the high dependence of these economies on the forest products industry. With the possibility of decreased timber production in the area and the high probability of increasing demand for forest products...

An economic analysis of hardwood treatment in loblolly pine plantations--a whole rotation dynamic programming approach

Creator:: Valsta, Lauri
Abstract:: To accomplish an economic evaluation of vegetation management in loblolly pine (Pinus taeda L.) at regeneration and a subsequent release time, two existing growth models were linked together in a dynamic programming analysis. The first model (Burkhart and Sprinz, 1984) provides a projection of stands regenerated with varying hardwood components...

The efficiency of resource use in the logging industry

Creator:: Richards, Douglas Perry
Abstract:: The logging industry is defined as being comprised of firms which combine capital and labor resources in a production process for converting stumpage into industrial roundwood. The industry occupies an important position in a series of inter-connected markets and manufacturing processes which links stumpage producers with wood product manufacturers and...

Effects of reservoir recreation development upon rural residential property values

Creator:: Boodt, William A.
Abstract:: Concern over the need to provide open space in communities for recreation and other uses and to estimate the public values involved is apparent to regional planners. This need, particularly evident in natural resource planning, indicates that more sophisticated analytical techniques be developed. The primary thrust of this study is...

The economic impact of the Douglas-fir Tussock Moth on private recreation businesses in northeastern Oregon

Creator:: Williams, William Roy
Abstract:: An outbreak of the Douglas-fir tussock moth caused severe defoliation in northeastern Oregon during the period from 1972 to 1974. Aerial application of DOT was used to control the outbreak in 1974. Much of the infected area has been logged to salvage the dead and damaged timber. The purpose of...

Silvicultural and financial analysis of three case studies in the Oregon Coast Range

Creator:: Rudd, Christopher Channing
Abstract:: Three data sets were examined to determine the costs with and without constrained forest management practices. Two adjacent sites in the Coast Range of Oregon were studied. One of the units was broadcast burned while the adjacent site was left unburned. The stands were projected for growth and yield in...

Harvest scheduling and economic effects of old-growth forest preservation in northwest Oregon

Creator:: Hunt, Mary C.
Abstract:: Old-growth forests provide an important resource in terms of both timber and non-timber values. Northwest Oregon represents an area where this resource is scarce and options for preserving old-growth habitat are limited. This study identifies the old-growth resource on public lands within the area, suggests a range of preservation alternatives...

The economic consequences of intensifying forest management in Douglas County, Oregon

Creator:: Dippon, Duane R.
Abstract:: The objective of this study was to measure the consequences of alternative forest management intensification programs. These consequences include future harvest levels, silvicultural labor and capital requirements, and the income and employment generated directly and indirectly. The system utilizes the Timber Resource Economic Estimation System (TREES) model, a harvest scheduling...
