The role and purpose of trade modeling in forestry is highlighted, as is the need for greater attention to data needs. Directions for future research are discussed.
In this chapter, we examine the importance of softwood lumber production to Canada's economy and provide a brief history of the Canada-U.S. softwood lumber dispute and its resolution on various occasions using U.S. countervailing and anti-dumping duties, export taxes or various types of quota...
The theory of measuring economic welfare across horizontal and vertical chains is provided in this chapter. As demonstrated, it underlies the spatial price equilibrium (SPE) trade models. The vertical and horizontal chains involved in a particular trade model, referred to as the REPA model, are...
The REPA spatial price equilibrium model developed in Chapter 4 is used to investigate the regional welfare impacts of a quota on exports of Canadian softwood lumber to the U.S. In the model, Canada is divided into seven regions and the U.S. into five regions, with the rest of the world...
This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the important issues of land use and forest economics. It begins by explaining general economic concepts of well-being, welfare measurement and economic rents before providing a synopsis of environmental economic issues including non-market...
This book extends the theory of the new institutional economics by setting out the ramifications of market failures in the context of the forestry sector of British Columbia, Canada, with a clear focus on silvicultural investment at contractual level. The evolution of forestry institutions and...
A gravity trade model can be used to determine the effects of policy on bilateral trade flows. The gravity model is initially explained and then used to determine the effect that U.S. tariffs have on softwood lumber (SWL) imports from Canada, using information from the 2006 Softwood Lumber...
This chapter introduces the Global Forest Products Model (GFPM). The general model structure and the mathematical formulation of the GFPM are provided and key differences and similarities to the modeling approaches developed in the previous chapters are highlighted. The usefulness of the GFPM as a...
This study examines how natural disturbance can adversely affect the carbon sequestration potential of the forest, and the potential contribution that genomics might make towards offsetting these impacts when carbon is priced. A stochastic dynamic programming model of the BC interior, which...
A gravity model of softwood lumber (SWL) trade is developed and used to determine the effect that U.S. tariffs have on SWL exports from Canada to the U.S. The gravity model employs quarterly data for seven Canadian and three U.S. regions over the period 2007-2019; it is expanded to include Japan...
