Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: As a forester interested in economics and policy, Daowei Zhang followed the softwood lumber dispute between the U.S. and Canada for nearly 20 years. Dubbed the 'Softwood Lumber War,' the conflict enveloped politicians and business leaders on both sides of the border and placed strains on the historically close economic and political relations between the two countries. This book is an unprecedentedly detailed evaluation of how the conflict began and how it was sustained for such a long period of time. The book considers the implications that may follow from the 2006 agreement between the nations, and the broader lessons that might be learned about international trade conflicts. The early 1980s was a difficult time for U.S. lumber producers. Finding their domestic market share in decline, they requested restrictions on Canadian lumber imports. Alleging that the Canadian producers were being subsidized, they eventually secured a 15 percent export tax on Canadian lumber in 1986. A long series of trade battles followed against a background of shortages in the U.S. timber supply, changing international markets, and the establishment of the North American Free Trade Agreement and the World Trade Organization. Canada and the United States are the world's largest trading partners, but, as Zhang demonstrates, it is a relationship in which domestic pressure groups, different institutional structures within each government, and differences in the relative economic power of each country remain extremely important determinants of foreign policy. The fact that the softwood lumber dispute has taken so long to resolve-and the prospect that the 2006 agreement has the potential to be undone by continuing litigation and trade friction-raise important questions about international relations in a world that is supposedly moving toward free trade.

Book excerpt: Since 1982, Canada and the United States have been involved in disputes over trade in softwood lumber. This report first provides background on the nature of the disputes, which have taken the form of countervailing duty cases and anti-dumping investigations, and the roles & responsibilities of those involved. It then outlines the history of three previous countervailing duty cases started by the US Department of Commerce and the 1996 softwood lumber agreement. The current softwood lumber dispute that followed expiry of the 1996 agreement in 2001 is reviewed with reference to countervailing duty & anti-dumping cases, the Department of Commerce's final determination, negotiations to assess alternatives to litigation to resolve the dispute, and challenges under the North American Free Trade Agreement and the World Trade Organization. The final section reviews market diversification & advocacy activities in Canada that are being undertaken in response to softwood lumber duties.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Because of the long-standing Canada-U.S. lumber trade dispute and the current pressure on the world's forests as a renewable energy source, much attention has been directed toward the modelling of international trade in wood products. Two types of trade models are described in this book: one is rooted in economic theory and mathematical programming, and the other consists of two econometric/statistical models--a gravity model rooted in theory and an approach known as GVAR that relies on time series analyses. The purpose of the book is to provide the background theory behind models and facilitate readers in easily constructing their own models to analyse policy questions that they wish to address, whether in forestry or some other sector. Examples in the book are meant to illustrate how models can be used to say something about a variety of issues, including identification of the gains and losses to various players in the North American softwood lumber business, and the potential for redirecting sales of lumber to countries outside the United States. The discussion is expanded to include other products besides lumber, and used to examine, for example, the effects of log export restrictions by one nation on all other forestry jurisdictions, the impacts of climate policies as they relate to the global forest sector, and the impact of oil prices on forest product markets throughout the world. This book will appeal to practising economists and researchers who wish to examine various policies that affect international trade, whether their interest is local or international in scope. Because the book provides the theoretical bases underlying various models, students and practitioners will find this a valuable reference book or supplementary textbook.

Book excerpt: "Canada and the United States are neighbors and trading partners, but on one thing they have never agreed: softwood lumber. The dispute dates back hundreds of years, but turned nasty in the 1980's through the use of U.S. trade laws. As a result, the U.S. imposed billions of dollars of duties on Canadian softwood lumber imports. On September 12, 2006 International Trade Minister David Emerson and U.S. Trade Representative Susan Schwab entered an agreement that would return some of the dumping and countervailing duties to the Canadian producers. But not everyone is happy with the deal. In a spirited debate the speakers will identify the winners and losers in the deal and predict the effect of the dispute and agreement on future dispute resolution and the rule of law"--The ABA International Law Section website.

Download or read book The Canada United States Trade in Softwood Lumber written by Robert W. Lynch and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The thesis examines a long-standing North American trade dispute. At the centre of the conflict is the allegation by the U.S. softwood lumber industry that low provincial government stumpage fees constitute a subsidy to the Canadian softwood lumber industry. The thesis evaluates the subsidy allegation in the context of the British Columbia forest sector. The amount of Ricardin rent captured by the B.C. forest industry is decisive evidence leading to the conclusion that there is no provincial government subsidy to the softwood lumber industry. The argument is supported by evidence that lower stumpage fees in British Columbia only compensate for high costs in other areas of production. The outcome of the softwood lumber dispute is of critical importance to Canada.
