Up to now, relatively little attention has been given to the asymmetric effects of exchange rates on the trade balance in the forest economics literature. Thus, the primary thrust of this article is to probe the asymmetric impacts of exchange rates on exports and imports in the context of bilateral ...

In this paper, we examine the implications of managing for sustained yield in a world characterized by growing risk and uncertainty. We review the history of sustained yield (SY) forestry in North America, with an emphasis on economic benefits and the persistence of the SY paradigm today, despite a ...

Climate change is expected to have significant impacts on forests by affecting the successional dynamics of tree species and the performance of plantations, among others. Research is needed to better understand how these factors will affect forests and economies in different regions, and how we can ...

In Canada, a new collaborative approach to forest sector innovation was heralded by the formation of FPinnovations in 2007. Thus FPInnovations acquired and coordinated three long-established industry-driven (association) laboratories, respectively focusing on forestry, wood products and pulp and...

This report presents survey results for Ontario's secondary wood manufacturing industries in 2017. The survey compiled operational, employment, production, marketing, and financial information on eight business types. This was the first Canadian Forest Service survey of this segment of the Ontario ...

Using a unique data set constructed from timber harvesting opportunities granted or acquired by First Nations (FN) in British Columbia through different kinds of tenure agreements, we investigate what characteristics of the timber, the type of tenure and community characteristics affect harvest...

This report presents the survey results for Quebec's secondary wood manufacturing industries in 2017. The survey compiled operational, employment, production, marketing, and financial information for eight business types. This is the first Canadian Forest Service survey of this subsector of...

Up until now, relatively little attention has been given to the asymmetric effects of exchange rates on global trade flows of forest products. Thus, the primary thrust of this article is to probe the asymmetric influences exchange rate fluctuations have on bilateral trade flows of various forest...

Previous studies have examined the economic trade-offs of climate change mitigation in forestry. However, most have not explicitly accounted for the impact of climate change on productivity or the value of carbon sequestration when considering the higher costs of adaptive planting. Here we build on ...

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...
