Annual Monitoring of US Timber Production: Rationale and Design

FOREST SCIENCE, 64(5), 533–543.

By: J. Coulston*, J. Westfall *, D. Wear*, C. Edgar*, S. Prisley *, T. Treiman*, R. Abt n, W. Smith*

author keywords: Industrial roundwood; forest sector; sampling; sustainability
TL;DR: The reasoning for moving to an annual timber products monitoring program is presented and a comparison of sample designs is presented to facilitate an annual program without increased effort, finding that both probability proportional to size and stratified simple random sampling designs were viable options, but the stratifiedsimple random sampling design provided more flexibility.

By: Z. Brown n  & R. Kramer *

author keywords: Discrete choice models; Preference heterogeneity; Externalities; Pigovian incentives; Malaria; Insecticides; Locational sorting models
TL;DR: The theoretical structure similar to locational sorting models, which characterize equilibria in terms of marginal individuals who are indifferent between locations, is used and can be applied to other bioeconomic externalities with spillovers from discrete preventative actions, including agricultural pest management and the control of pest infestations and invasive species.
