This research report presents an economic analysis of the U.S. amd Canadian pulp and paper sector, and addresses the issue of paper recycling and its projected impact on the long-range timber outlock. The report describes the structure, data, and assumptions of a comprehensive economic model developed to simulate competitive future evolution of technology and markets for all products and fiber inputs of the U.S. and Canadian pulp and paper sector.
