Market Level Models

Description:

An understanding of timber markets is essential for developing insights into the formation of timber prices and the future of timber production. This is especially important in the South where rising demands for wood products have been coupled with increased competition for the use of forestland. The structure of markets will determine how and, increasingly, where private landowners will respond. Furthermore, market analysis is needed to understand the potential impact of policies, programs and climate change on the timber sector in the South.
