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...

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.

Stability under the federal sustained yield unit system : assessing the achievement of community stability in the Lakeview Unit

Creator:: Olson, Douglas Charles
Abstract:: A descriptive model of community stability is developed which can be used to gauge the achievement of community stability in federal sustained yield units. Community stability is defined which provides the framework on which the model was created. The achievement of the four goals of the 1944 Sustained Yield Act...

An econometric analysis of timber demand and supply relationships on the Siuslaw National Forest

Creator:: Shih, Kung
Abstract:: To abstract the fundamental market structures of stumpage sold from the Siuslaw National Forest, a three-equation structural model with different assumptions on private cut was empirically derived. Under the private cut price-fixed assumption, the structural model can be simplified as a single-equation model with stumpage price as dependent variable and...

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...

Economic efficiency of the particle board industry of Oregon

Creator:: Johnson, Walter W.
Abstract:: This study consists of an evaluation of economic efficiency in the particleboard industry of Oregon between 1958 and 1970. Measures of efficiency included aggregate capital and labor use in the production process, relative economies of scale, and relative technological efficiencies of individual particleboard plants. The rapid growth of the industry...

An economic analysis with emphasis on stochastic evaluation of the structural and marketing changes of the Oregon millwork industry

Creator:: Bandrowski, Stefan Stanislaw
Abstract:: Recently, the millwork industry in Oregon, an important consumer of pine lumber produced in this region, has undergone a series of changes which have seemingly affected its structure and marketing organization. The principal purpose of this study is to explain these changes in terms of economic analysis and to find...

Determining the cost of old-growth set-asides on the OSU college forest

Creator:: Birch, Kevin R.
Abstract:: The objectives for the use of the Oregon State University college forest include providing both facilities for research and teaching, and providing funding through timber harvest. The older age-classes of the forest are valuable for attaining both objectives. The opportunities and costs of removing acreage in the older age classes...
