Sedjo, R A; Hughes, J M

Can forestry compete with manufacturing and agriculture for scarce capital or is investment in forestry attractive only when non-economic considerations - for example the social desirability of forestry investments, are taken into account. Addressing this question, the contributors to this book assess the market for forestry products in the short - and long-term future; examine the competition between agriculture, cities, and forestry for use of land; identify strategies that private, industrial, and public investors might adopt; and look at the effects of government policies on private investors.
