An Economic Analysis of Wood Supply from Private Land in Alberta
Author: Canada-Alberta Forest Resource Development Agreement
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Forest management
Languages : en
Pages : 74
Book Description
The availability of fibre from private land in Alberta has been largely ignored because of a surplus from public land. However, much of this surplus has been allocated in recent years, so that fibre from private land is quickly becoming a potentially important wood supply for primary forest products firms in Alberta. This study obtained information from 38 land owners in west-central Alberta through a personal interview survey conducted in May 1989. Respondents were asked questions on the physical characteristics of their land, production costs from harvesting, questions related to their socio-economic conditions, and uses of their forest lands. The study also used a model to evaluate the relative importance of a number of variables for their effect on a landowner's decision to supply fibre now and in the future. A discussion of market structures for private fibre is presented, with the presence of transactions costs to both landowners and firms in procuring private fibre analyzed in light of the modelling results.

The Wealth of Forests
Author: Chris Tollefson
Publisher: UBC Press
ISBN: 0774806826
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 409
Book Description
These are turbulent, unpredictable, yet opportune times for Canadian forestry. Never before have competing demands on Canada’s forest resources been so great. At the same time, we are finally being forced to confront the sustainable limit of these resources. Now, the improbable has happened: government, industry, First Nationa, and NGOs appear to be part of an emerging consensus that industrial forestry in Canada must change. The Wealth of Forests is a pioneering attempt to grapple with the policy implications of the transition to sustainable forestry. While much has been written on the theory and practice of sustainable forestry and on the relative merits of regulatory versus market approaches to environmental protection, these literatures have nnot as yet been bridged. Using illustrations based on recent developments in British Columbia forest policy, this collection provides that bridge by analyzing the potential and limits of market, regulatory, and other policy instruments as means of achieving sustainability. Featuring new work by many of Canada’s leading forest policy scholars, this interdisciplinary collection is devoted to translating the concept of sustainability into practice in key areas of forest policy, including tenure, timber pricing, forest practices, land-use zoning, and eco-certification. The Wealth of Forests also considers how domestic and international legal regimes might constrain the adoption of policies that could bring us close to the elusive goal of sustainable forestry.

Forest Economics
Author: Daowei Zhang
Publisher: UBC Press
ISBN: 0774821558
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 414
Book Description
Forestry cannot be isolated from the forces that drive all economic activity. It involves using land, labour, and capital to produce goods and services from forests, while economics helps in understanding how this can be done in ways that will best meet the needs of people. Therefore, a firm grounding in economics is integral to sound forestry policies and practices. This book, a major revision and expansion of Peter H. Pearse’s 1990 classic, provides this grounding. Updated and enhanced with advanced empirical presentation of materials, it covers the basic economic principles and concepts and their application to modern forest management and policy issues. Forest Economics draws on the strengths of two of the field’s leading practitioners who have more than fifty years of combined experience in teaching forest economics in the United States and Canada. Its comprehensive and systematic analysis of forest issues makes it an indispensable resource for students and practitioners of forest management, natural resource conservation, and environmental studies.
