The paper presents the efficiency evaluation of forest districts in Southern Poland carried out using the standard Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) which is a nonparametric mathematical programming technique. The study aims to evaluate the efficiency and identify the external factors affecting the...

The article is a continuation of research on the relationship between forest habitat type and economic aspects of forest management. It assesses the impact of forest habitat types on reforestation costs. As a part of the implementation of the assumed work objectives, economic activities related to...

The forestry sector is facing critical challenges due to climate change. Decision-making support based on efficiency evaluation using non-parametric methods could provide important information for both forest managers and policymakers. However, such advanced technical analysis is scarce in forestry ...

During the last few years (2016-2019) forestry in Poland has received special attention from domestic and international audiences. In particular, the conflict relating to the Bialowieza Forest in Eastern Poland has been widely covered by the media. Yet there reminds a lack of understanding relating ...

I study how the economic value of a heterogeneously distributed environmental public good depends on how the endowment with this good and income are distributed. I find that the effect of environmental inequality on the societal willingness to pay (WTP) for the environmental good is determined both ...

Structural, economic, and climate changes human activity and the growing complexity of the business environment significantly affect the forestry sector, which faces the need to adapt to the dynamically changing environment by strategic development of appropriate resources and skills. In this...

The aim of the study is to evaluate the influence of the costs of silvicultural and wildlife protection measures on economic efficiency of forest management in three selected forest districts (Wejherowo, Supraśl and Żmigród). The economic efficiency of the measures taken was evaluated using the net ...

Forest areas, like other ecosystems, provide a range of ecosystem services. The most common classification of ecosystem services distinguishes them into four categories: provisioning, regulating, supporting, and cultural. As is well known, the two categories of services (provisioning and cultural)...

The aim of this paper was to evaluate the financial and economic resources efficiency of forest districts in the years 2008-2012 using a nonparametric approach of the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). DEA is a linear programming based method for evaluating the performance of comparable production...

We analyzed the relationship of the softwood market in chosen EU countries. The long-run relationship was tested using the multivariate Johansen procedure and bivariate Engle-Granger cointegration test. Precedence and causality of markets in the short-run were tested using the weak exogeneity test...
