Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spawned by the current interest in revising Oregon's Forest Conservation Act, this study defines the forestry regulation problem and outlines theoretical approaches to its solution. Unregulated private forestry is found to present opportunities for government intervention, the gains from which could exceed the losses. Proposed is a public goal of maximizing net satisfactions from Oregon's private forest lands, subject to specified constraints and assumptions This goal is derived in a chapter on welfare economics. Following an evaluation of past regulation goals and approaches, the study discusses guidelines for regeneration and logging regulations consistent with the assumed regulatory objective In a full employment economy it appears that public regulation of private forestry is which the unregulated market would attain (ignoring non-wood benefits). However, government leasing of private land for wood production does provide a possibility of increased satisfactions from wood output. Upon considering non-market forest benefits and undesirable side-effects of logging, welfare-increases from intervention are shown to be possible. After reviewing the concept of optimal levels of spill-over effects, the study points out the possibility that optimal levels of nonmarket damages could depend on whether the liability for damage reduction is placed on the victims or the damager. Considering both liability viewpoints, a scheme for determining optimal regeneration regulations is outlined for cases where non-market values are at stake. Approaches to optimizing levels of external non-market damages from logging are then examined under each liability scheme, considering actions causing changes in single or joint benefits. The importance of distinguishing between mutually exclusive and additive management practices is illustrated. Forestry-caused environmental changes discussed under nonmarket benefits include variations in water siltation and temperature, fish and big game populations, and scenic beauty. The study aims to assist economists advising planners of forest practices legislation and administrative regulations. Much of the information presented would be useful in designing such intervention today to approach the study's assumed regulatory goal. Other more detailed decision guides are proposed for research to determine optimal regulations on study areas. Broad application of such research results could increase welfare by a greater amount than could preliminary regulations designed immediately. Throughout the study, emphasis is placed upon the need for, and possibility of, making incremental analyses comparing marginal benefits and costs even when these marginal quantities are in different units. Evaluation of regulatory alternatives is left to decision makers, the study simply illustrates ways of arraying and comparing alternative.

This book was released on 2005 with total page 234 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This review looks at the Nation's legal, institutional, and economic capacity to promote forest conservation and sustainable resource management. It focuses on 20 indicators of Criterion Seven of the so-called Montreal Process and involves an extensive search and synthesis of information from a variety of sources. It identifies ways to fill information gaps and improve the usefulness of several indicators. It concludes that there is substantial information about the application of such capacities, although that application is widely dispersed among agencies and private interests; which in turn has led to differing interpretations of the indicators. Individual chapters identify a need to further develop the conceptual foundation on which many of the indicators are predicated. While many uncertainties in the type and accuracy of information are brought to light, the review clearly indicates that legal, institutional, and economic capacities to promote sustainability are large and widely available in both the public and private sectors."--P. vi.

Download or read book Corporate Social Responsibility and the State written by Jane Lister and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2012-01-01 with total page 305 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Public concern about worsening global environmental and social conditions has spurred corporate participation in voluntary corporate social responsibility (CSR) programs. Such efforts are promising, but CSR participation has unfolded unevenly across the globe, leading to skepticism about the efficacy of CSR efforts, and to increased pressure on governments to get involved. Corporate Social Responsibility and the State examines CSR governance through the lens of forest certification in Canada, the US, and Sweden. Drawing on more than one hundred interviews with experts, Lister offers revealing new information on CSR governance, ultimately demonstrating the importance of voluntary CSR as a supplement to rather than a substitute for strong state regulation. One of the first studies to directly address the role of the public sector in CSR, this book provides much-needed theoretical and practical guidance for understanding a vital new governance approach to effective social and environmental stewardship.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new textbook provides an up-to-date and comprehensive introduction to both the policy background and contemporary governance of forests in the United States. Starting with a history of the development of forest policies and conservation agencies, the book then explores the diversity of forest owners, users, and uses and examines emerging approaches to forest governance that cross traditional jurisdictional and property boundaries. It tackles key contemporary issues such as the forest water nexus, the conservation of threatened and endangered species, and the challenges of managing fire, insect, and disease dynamics under a changing climate. Key focal areas include the emergence of collaborative approaches to forest governance, community forest relationships, changes to corporate timberland ownership, and contemporary governance mechanisms such as certification and payments for ecosystem services. This text raises the "big questions" about the distribution of rights and responsibilities in forest management, the tensions between equity and efficiency, and how to sustain a diversity of forest values under the pressures of ecological and social complexity. Written in an accessible and engaging manner, this textbook provides a timely synthesis of both the foundations and current trends and issues in forest policy and governance in the United States with a strong emphasis on illustrative real-world cases. Forest Policy and Governance in the United States is essential reading for students in forest and natural resource policy courses and will be of great use to students in environmental governance courses. It will also be of interest to policymakers and professionals working in forest conservation and in the forest industry.
