Economics of Forest Resources
这本书系统介绍了森林经济学的基础模型和近25年的发展，涵盖Faustmann轮伐模型、Hartman模型等，并探讨了碳封存、生物多样性等应用，适合学生和研究者快速了解该领域。
Forests and forestry have always been important for human welfare. In recent years, this importance has increased following challenges related to issues like deforestation, climate change, bio-diversity, water catchment and value added in forest industries. The book Economics of Forest Resources by Gregory Amacher, Markku Ollikainen and Erkki Koskela provides an introduction to forest economics and a technical overview of its development, with focus on the last 25 years. The book is divided into three main parts. Part I presents an overview of historical and classical core models that every serious student or researcher of forest economics must know: the Faustmann rotation model, the Hartman models of timber and amenity production and the two-periodic life-cycle models. The basic structure of these models is carefully explained, and then extended to cover interesting applications like analysing competing land uses and carbon sequestration in the Hartmann case, and overlapping generation and forest taxation incidence in the two-periodic life-cycle models. Among the issues mentioned for further investigations are describing better the amenity production between stands and targeting bio-diversity conservation, carbon sequestration issues and climate considerations.
