Framework for evaluating the economics of short-rotation forestry research and development
Technical Report
·
OSTI ID:6217394
An introductory review of short-rotation forestry is provided and a framework for economic evaluation of short-rotation forestry research and development is presented. This framework is based on a consumer surplus approach to cost-benefit analysis, and the report presents a procedure for estimating supply curves for wood from short-rotation forestry. An important part of the procedure for deriving supply curves is a linear complementarity model of short-rotation forestry, which is used to maximize the net present value of employed resources. This model can be used to calculate optimal sustainable harvests from short-rotation forests.
