Abstract The current New Zealand Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) allows forest growers to earn units under the stock change approach. Carbon price risk means that most participants are only trading safe units that they do not need to surrender after harvest provided that they replant. Consequently, the ETS has provided less incentive for afforestation than had been envisaged. This paper evaluates averaging as an alternative approach to carbon accounting. Two variations are considered: averaging… Expand

Potential impact of carbon trading on forest management in New Zealand
The New Zealand Government has enacted an emissions trading scheme (ETS) under which owners of Kyoto-compliant forests will receive/surrender units for increases/decreases in the carbon stocks of… Expand
Forecasting the effect of carbon price and log price on the afforestation rate in New Zealand
Abstract The Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) enacted in New Zealand in 2008 allows forest growers to claim units for carbon sequestered by new forests. As afforestation is an important contributor to… Expand
Costs and carbon sequestration potential of alternative forest management measures in Germany
The objective of this study is to assess the costs and the carbon sequestration potential of selected forest management measures in Germany, including effects on the harvested wood products (HWP)… Expand
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… Expand
Extent and costs of forest-based climate change mitigation in Germany: accounting for substitution
Abstract The objective of this study is to quantify the contribution of the German forestry to climate change mitigation and to calculate the associated costs at the national level. For that, the… Expand
Plantation forestry-its role as a carbon sink: conclusions from calculations based on New Zealand’s planted forest estate
It is common to encounter misunderstanding with regard to the role of forests as a means of mitigating the postulated enhanced greenhouse effect (Houghton et al. 1990, 1992). Some of the confusion… Expand
An Optimal Control Model of Forest Carbon Sequestration
This study develops an optimal control model of carbon sequestration and energy abatement to explore the potential role of forests in greenhouse gas mitigation. The article shows that if carbon… Expand
Discount rates used for forest valuation - Results of 2009 survey
TLDR
Fourteen forest valuers responded to the survey and provided information on 12 transactions between mid-2007 and 2009, and overall averages were 6.9% (post-tax cashflows) and 8.6% (pre- Tax cashflows), compared to 6.7% and 9.0% in the 2007 survey. Expand
