There is an urgent need to examine additionality in a dynamic market context. To this end, our analysis focuses on the extent to which deferred harvests of pine roundwood as an offset source can achieve additionality under changing roundwood prices across a large wood-producing region. Specifically, we consider the potential for offset market activity itself and for unexpected demand shocks to adjust carbon baselines as they each have an impact on the relative prices observed for industrial roundwood. We use a bioeconomic model of the roundwood market to simulate harvest activity and estimate the economically feasible levels of carbon storage across four wood-producing basins in Mississippi. We then present estimates of the expected changes in carbon storage under a given change in timber prices and demonstrate how this information can be used to approximate the optimal reaction curve for an offset broker, dealer, or verification program manager seeking to ensure additionality with credits they exchange. The optimal reaction curve consists of a response to a change in the roundwood price state by either approving supplementary harvest deferral contracts or by restricting the supply of new contracts, depending on the direction of the observed price change. Alternatively, the results suggest that contracts could be structured to facilitate payment conditional on realized timber price outcomes, rather than solely on evidence of a delayed harvest.}, journal={FOREST POLICY AND ECONOMICS}, author={Rossi, David J. and Baker, Justin S. and Abt, Robert C.}, year={2023}, month={Nov} } @article{rossi_kuusela_dunn_2022, title={A microeconometric analysis of wildfire suppression decisions in the Western United States}, volume={200}, ISSN={["1873-6106"]}, DOI={10.1016/j.ecolecon.2022.107525}, abstractNote={Full suppression strategies remain the dominant option in wildfire management, despite a large body of research demonstrating the ecological and economic benefits of allowing unplanned wildfires to burn under favorable conditions. Consequently, empirical research identifying and understanding the factors that contribute to these decisions within public land management agencies has become of critical importance in efforts to improve management outcomes. This paper assesses the importance of a set of institutional and socioeconomic factors with a random utility model of incident commander suppression decisions. We compare the importance of these factors on chosen strategies before and after an update to federal fire policy implementation guidance and an associated change to federal fire budgeting policy implemented in Fiscal Year 2010. We find that while the update to federal fire policy guidance may have been effective at increasing the probability that managers adopted a strategy other than full suppression, the subsequent increase in suppression budget allotments offset this impact, rendering no true difference in probabilities after the policy change.}, journal={ECOLOGICAL ECONOMICS}, author={Rossi, David and Kuusela, Olli-Pekka and Dunn, Christopher}, year={2022}, month={Oct} } @article{kulkarni_rossi_2022, title={Determinants of downside risk exposure: An analysis of Korean rice farms using partial and quantile moments}, ISSN={["2040-5804"]}, DOI={10.1002/aepp.13320}, abstractNote={Abstract}, journal={APPLIED ECONOMIC PERSPECTIVES AND POLICY}, author={Kulkarni, Kedar and Rossi, David}, year={2022}, month={Aug} }
