Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2003. The 'Economics of Forestry' is a specialized subset of resource economics addressing a specific natural resource - the forest - which is usually a relatively long time period. Hence, forest economics has characteristics similar to nonrenewable resources but also has those of a renewable resource, in some cases approaching those of agriculture. This volume comprises some of the most significant journal essays in forest economics and forest policy. The International Library of Environmental Economics and Policy explores the influence of economics on the development of environmental and natural resource policy. In a series of twenty five volumes, the most significant journal essays in key areas of contemporary environmental and resource policy are collected. Scholars who are recognized for their expertise and contribution to the literature in the various research areas serve as volume editors and write essays that provides the context for the collection. Volumes in the series reflect three broad strands of economic research including 1) Natural and Environmental Resources, 2) Policy Instruments and Institutions and 3) Methodology. The editors, in their introduction to each volume, provide a state-of-the-art overview of the topic and explain the influence and relevance of the collected papers on the development of policy. This reference series provides access to the economic literature that has shaped contemporary perspectives on land use analysis and policy.

Book excerpt: Abstract: This dissertation incorporates various estimation and modeling techniques to investigate important issues in natural resource and environmental economics. All of the empirical examples are tied to forestry, but the techniques used in this research can be applied to many issues in agricultural, environmental, and development economics. The first essay, Optimal Forest Rotations with Environmental Values and Endogenous Fire Risk, presents an economic model that solves for the optimal economic harvest problem of an even-aged stand with the risk of a forest fire and the potential for carbon sequestration benefits. The model incorporates risk-reducing management practices (thinning) that allow risk and growth to be endogenous and is solved using numerical simulation techniques. Results show that higher carbon prices increase the length of rotations regardless of the probability of fire, that there is an increase in management as the stand approaches economic maturity, and that thinning can provide economical and environmental benefits, even when there is a high probability of fire. The second essay, Estimating the Dynamic Factors of Derived Demand for Regional Softwood Stumpage Markets in the United States, uses two econometric models to differentiate between short-run and long-run responses to market fluctuations to estimate the elasticities of supply and demand for regional softwood stumpage. This approach is not common in the U.S. timber and wood production literature that often assumes a static equilibrium or instantaneous factor adjustment. Results indicate that elasticities fluctuate over time and region, and the differences between short-run and long-run measurements can be large due to the slow adjustment of capital stock. The third essay, Exchange Rates and the Competitiveness of the United States Timber Sector in a Global Economy, uses a dynamic optimization model of global timber markets to examine how different exchange rates affect global timber supply. A baseline and six alternative scenarios are constructed under the assumption that exchange rates affect the cost structure of harvesting and managing forests. Results indicate that the US forestry sector is sensitive to both strong US $ policies and to weak South American currencies, with the strong dollar policy having the largest effect on domestic supply.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper identifies the essential features of the forestry economics literature emphasizing what is different about forestry and what are forestry's important features for project and program analysis. The important conclusion, is that economic tools are both available and appropriate for the analysis of a wide range of forest policy problems. The report is divided into two parts. The characteristics that received special attention in the first part are the embodiment of both productive capital and final output in any standing forest inventory, and the long time periods that often distinguish forest production. A third distinguishing characteristics is the joint production nature of many forest resource services. The second part of the paper visits seven special topics that are important to forestry and economic development: (1) timber production; (2) smallholder forest management; (3) forestry research, education, and extension; (4) tenure; (5) policy spillovers from other sectors of the economy that can substantially alter forests and forestland management; (6) non-timber multiple use values; and (7) deforestation, timber famine or its counter, sustainable forest management.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book, first published in 1988, provides an overview of the diverse work that was being done in applied and theoretical environmental and resource economics. Some essays reflect upon the background of the work of John Krutilla, one of the founders of Resources for the Future and a leading scholar of environmental economics, and the development of the field to date. Other essays examine and convey findings on particular resource problems and theoretical issues and resource policies and the practice of applied welfare economics. This title will be of interest to students of economics and environmental studies.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Wherever we live, however we do so, we desperately need a prophet of responsibility; and although the days of the prophets seem past to many of us, Berry may be the closest to one we have. But, fortunately, he is also a poet of responsibility. He makes one believe that the good life may not only be harder than what we're used to but sweeter as well."—The New York Review of Books In Home Economics, Berry explores this process and continues to discuss what it means to make oneself “responsibly at home.” As he argues, a measure of the health of the planet is economics—the health of its households.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From the first vague idea to use Konrad Hagedorn’s 60th birthday as an inspi- tion for taking stock of his vibrant academic contributions, this joint book project has been a great pleasure for us in many ways. Pursuing Hagedorn’s intellectual development, we have tried to reflect on the core questions of humanity according to Ernst Bloch “Who are we?”, “Where do we come from?” and “Where are we heading?” In this way, and without knowing it, Konrad Hagedorn initiated a c- lective action process he would have very much enjoyed ... if he had been allowed to take part in it. But it was our aim and constant motivation to surprise him with this collection of essays in his honour. Konrad Hagedorn was reared as the youngest child of a peasant family on a small farm in the remote moorland of East Frisia, Germany. During his childhood in the poverty-ridden years after the Second World War, he faced a life where humans were heavily dependent on using nature around them for their livelihoods; meanwhile, he learned about the fragility of the environment. As a boy, he - tended a one-room schoolhouse, where his great intellectual talents were first r- ognised and used for co-teaching his schoolmates. These early teaching expe- ences might have laid the foundations for his later becoming a dedicated lecturer and mentor.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 85 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The second essay provides an alternative way to estimate the impact of urban tree cover on house sale prices by considering the sample selection issue with the same dataset in California. The main hypothesis is that houses with high tree cover generate higher utility to consumers, and thus lead to higher house price, ceteris paribus. It may be attributed to the fact that consumers self-select into purchasing houses with high or low density tree cover based on some unobserved systematically different characteristics. As a result, estimates from sample selection models except Placer, confirm the hypothesis that living around high density tree cover increase the house price.
