Estimation of Logging Costs and Timber Supply Curves from Forest Inventory Data

Year: 1979
Type: article
Abstract: This paper illustrates a procedure whereby the costs of logging are estimated using simple econometric techniques. The necessary data can in principle be readily assembled through forest inventory procedures. Using available information on forest inventory and topographic conditions, we illustrate the derivation of a timber "supply" curve that relates the availability of timber in large region at various costs.
