New elasticities and projections of global demand for coniferous sawnwood

Forest Policy and Economics, 2021
Abstract Coniferous sawnwood is the most important solid wood product in terms of its production volume and economic significance. It also plays a vital role in the forestry-forest industry value chain. We estimated price- and income elasticities for per capita softwood sawnwood consumption based on FAO data.

Estimating Armington elasticities for sawnwood and application to the French Forest Sector Model [PDF]

Resource and Energy Economics, 2011
Domestic and foreign forest products consumptions are considered imperfectly substitutable in the French Forest Sector Model (FFSM). This assumption is justified by product heterogeneities that depend on production places, by the consumers habits or by the market structure.

Substitution in Demand Between Sawnwood and Other Wood Products in Norway

Forest Science, 1989
Abstract A combined factor and consumer demand logit model for analyzing the substitution between sawnwood, particleboard, fiberboard, and gypsumboard was estimated for four industrial sectors in Norway. The causes of substitution are discussed. It is found that they are not uniform over the sectors.

The Influence of Short Rotation Forestry on Wood Production for Sawnwood and Veneer

South African Forestry Journal, 1982
SYNOPSIS Short rotations for the production of saw and veneer logs range from 20 to 35 years during which logs of the required size and quality are produced provided that thinning and pruning regimes are meticulously adhered to. Early and regular thinnings to stimulate diameters growth coupled with timely prunings to limit the size of the knotty core ...
