Modeling International Trade of Forest Products: Application of PPML to a Gravity Model of Trade

Forest Products Journal, 68(3), 303–316.

By: J. Larson*, J. Baker*, G. Latta*, S. Ohrel* & C. Wade*

TL;DR: This work proposes avoiding the log-linearized gravity model and instead estimate the nonlinear gravity model via PPML, and provides a tool for policy makers and industry leaders alike to make informed decisions over prior estimates of forest product trade. (via Semantic Scholar)

2018 journal article

Evaluating the effects of climate change on US agricultural systems: sensitivity to regional impact and trade expansion scenarios

Environmental Research Letters, 13(6), 064019.

author keywords: climate change; impacts; agriculture
TL;DR: The results of the analyses reveal substantial differences in estimated impacts on the US agricultural sector when accounting for global impacts vs. US-only impacts, and find that freer trade can play an important role in helping to buffer regional productivity shocks. (via Semantic Scholar)

Logging residue supply and costs for electricity generation: Potential variability and policy considerations

Energy Policy, 116, 397–409.

By: J. Baker*, A. Crouch*, Y. Cai*, G. Latta*, S. Ohrel*, J. Jones*, A. Latané*

author keywords: Logging residues; Bioenergy; Spatial optimization; Supply potential; Bioenergy policy restrictions
TL;DR: A spatial allocation optimization model is applied to evaluate logging residue supply potential and costs for bioelectricity generation within the conterminous United States and shows potential supply cost increases that could result from policies imposing regional restrictions, limiting access to public lands, and restricting eligible facilities.

Cumulative global forest carbon implications of regional bioenergy expansion policies

Resource and Energy Economics, 53, 198–219.

By: S. Kim*, J. Baker*, B. Sohngen* & M. Shell*

author keywords: Bioenergy; Carbon sequestration; Forest management
TL;DR: Results show that potential near term biomass demand growth in the U.S., Europe, and elsewhere can drive forest resource investment at the intensive and extensive margins, resulting in a net increase in forest carbon stocks for most regions of the world. (via Semantic Scholar)

A Land Use and Resource Allocation (LURA) modeling system for projecting localized forest CO 2 effects of alternative macroeconomic futures

Forest Policy and Economics, 87, 35–48.

By: G. Latta*, J. Baker* & S. Ohrel*

TL;DR: This study seeks to inform the discussion by modeling US forest GHG accounts per different simulated demand scenarios across a grid of over 130,000 USDA Forest Service Forest Inventory and Analysis (FIA) forestland plots over the conterminous United States. (via Semantic Scholar)

Will U.S. Forests Continue to Be a Carbon Sink?

Land Economics, 94(1), 97–113.

TL;DR: These methods account for land management changes on both the intensive and extensive margins, both of which are critical components of future carbon fluxes, and suggest that U.S. forests remain a carbon sink through most of the coming century. (via Semantic Scholar)

Estimation and welfare analysis from mixed logit models with large choice sets

Journal of Environmental Economics and Management, 90, 101–118.

By: R. von Haefen n & A. Domanski

author keywords: Discrete choice; Sampling of alternatives; Welfare measurement; Recreation
TL;DR: Although the results confirm that larger efficiency losses arise with smaller samples as theory would predict, they suggest that depending on researcher needs, random samples as small as 28 alternatives can produce relatively accurate welfare estimates that are useful for exploratory modeling, sensitivity analysis, and policy purposes.
