Carbon rotation ages and the offset measurement conundrum: An extended review
Covid-19 impacts on U.S. lumber markets
Measurement and economic valuation of carbon sequestration in Nova Scotian wetlands
How effective are forests in mitigating climate change
The Challenge of Mitigating Climate Change through Forestry Activities: What Are the Rules of the Game
Can carbon accounting promote economic development in forest-dependent, indigenous communities
Forest carbon offsets and carbon emissions trading: Problems of contracting
The process of monitoring and measuring the carbon fluxes associated with forestry is complex and costly, and the process is subject to asymmetric information, perverse incentives and inadequate institutions. The upshot is that any trade in forestry related carbon credits is likely to involve unwarranted acts of faith. This means that, since carbon credits are a de facto fiat currency, their exchange value is likely to be unstable. Contracting re…

Does community and household tree planting imply increased use of wood for fuel? Evidence from Ethiopia
Climate Change, Climate Science and Economics: Prospects for an Alternative Energy Future
Is anthropogenic global warming occurring? Perhaps, says the author, although an examination of the evidence suggests that it will not be catastrophic and reality tells us that, despite significant expenditure on mitigating climate change, we had better learn to adapt to it. This volume is a comprehensive examination of why this is the case, enabling readers to understand the complexity associated with climate change policy and the science behind…

The effect of climate change on optimal wetlands and waterfowl management in Western Canada
Corruption, Development and the Curse of Natural Resources
Sachs and Warner (1995) found a negative relationship between natural resources and economic growth, concluding that natural resources are a curse. This explanation for poor economic growth is now widely accepted. We provide an alternative econometric framework for evaluating the resource curse. We focus on resource rents and rent-seeking behaviour, arguing that rent seeking affects corruption and that, in turn, impacts well-being. Our measure of…

The ghost of extinction: Preservation values and minimum viable population in wildlife models
What accounts for the divergence between ranchers' WTA and WTP for public forage
Determinants of Threatened Sage Grouse in Northeastern Nevada
We examined potential human determinants of observed declines in greater sage grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus) populations in Elko County, Nevada. Although monitoring of sage grouse has occurred for decades, monitoring levels have not been consistent. This article contributes to the literature by normalizing grouse counts by the annual effort to count them, performing regression analyses to explain the resulting normalized data, and correcting …

Smoke and Mirrors: The Kyoto Protocol and beyond
The Kyoto Protocol is considered a necessary first step toward an effective future climate accord. As argued in this paper, however, the protocol will likely fail because it has too many loopholes, inadequate governance structures, and insufficient compliance provisions. This view is supported by case studies of Canada, Japan, and the Netherlands. These countries are unlikely to achieve their self-imposed targets, or, if they do, the costs of com…

Potential to Sequester Carbon in Canadian Forests: A Reply
In their comment on our paper 'Potential to Sequester Carbon in Canadian Forests,' R.M. Horbulyk and W. Ross take issue with our results on three counts: they claim: (1) Canadian reforestation policies are not a cost-effective means of sequestering carbon (C); (2) Canada cannot be considered a C sink; and (3) Canada should look beyond its borders for cost-effective CO2 abatement strategies. We began this research expecting to confirm Horbulyk and…
Effect of Carbon Taxes and Subsidies on Optimal Forest Rotation Age and Supply of Carbon Services
Carbon taxes and subsidies will affect the optimal forest rotation and, consequently, the carbon stored in forests. Unlike the Hartman rotation, where externality benefits are a function of the volume of timber growing on a site at any time, carbon benefits are a function of the change in biomass. Theoretical and empirical results (for coastal British Columbia and northern Alberta) indicate that, under some tax regimes, it may be socially optimal…
