Forestry Economics and Policy Video Lessons
The Forestry Economics series will look at what influences the decision of when to cut down a forest, as well as the non-market values that should be considered to create an economically efficient system.
1. Introduction to Forestry Economics
The first of our Forestry Economics & Policy series, this video introduces the many ways in which trees and forests can be economically and environmentally valuable to individuals and communities.
2. Optimal Rotation Age (Part One)
This video looks at the factors involved in deciding when to harvest a given stand of trees and what the crop rotation period should be. Topics covered include stumpage value, growth rate, maximum sustainable revenue, average and incremental growth, and opportunity cost.
Optimal Rotation Age (Part Two)
This video continues to look at the factors involved in deciding when to harvest a given stand of trees and what the crop rotation period should be. Topics covered include stumpage value, growth rate, maximum sustainable revenue, average and incremental growth, and opportunity cost.
4. Ecosystem Services and the Optimal Rotation Age
This video continues to look at the factors involved in deciding when to harvest a given stand of trees and the ecosystem services involved. Topics covered in this series include stumpage value, growth rate, maximum sustainable revenue, average and incremental growth, and opportunity cost.
5. Forest Policy
This video looks at what policymakers can do to slow the pace of forest loss and degradation. Topics covered in this series include stumpage value, growth rate, maximum sustainable revenue, average and incremental growth, and opportunity cost.
This video series was made possible thanks to the support of the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation and the Marcia Brady Tucker Foundation.
