| Tiivistelmä: | Forests have the potential to provide ecosystem services, timber, mature growth aesthetics, and wildlife and endangered species protection. Forest managers are faced with complex ecosystem management decisions due to competing and complementary social values, and differential interactions of these social values with timber production. As a result, management strategies can have dramatic aggregate and intertemporal welfare implications. This paper portrays the trade offs and externalities in choosing or changing the forest management objective, and the resulting rankings of management policies. In addition, the paper analyzes the role of economies of scale in harvest area, where larger harvest areas generate average cost savings in harvesting and reseeding. |
