1 Integration of Disaggregated Elasticity Estimates into the Sub-Regional Timber Supply (SRTS) Model R.C. Abt (NC State University), R.H. Beach (RTI International), Jui-Chen Yang (RTI International), F.W. Cubbage (NC State University) Forest Sector Modeling Conference November 19, 2008 Seattle, Washington RTI International is a trade name of Research Triangle Institute
2 Objectives Estimate disaggregated harvest elasticities based on more comprehensive and representative data. Run SRTS using default and empirical harvest elasticities. Examine effects of disaggregated empirical elasticities on forest management decisions for forest outputs and inventories. 2
3 Overview of Multi-Product SRTS Model Demand (by product product demands assumed independent) Qd = ƒ(price, Demand Shifters) Supply (by product, region, owner) Qs = ƒ(price, Inventory t-1 ) Constant elasticity functional form Demand Assumptions Can Be Harvest Driven Solve for price consistent with exogenous harvest level Short run basin level studies Demand Driven Solve for price/harvest consistent with exogenous demand Medium run regional analysis Price Driven Long-run harvest at constant real prices 3
4 Overview of MP-SRTS Model (continued) Inventory, growth, removals and acres are tracked by: Region: FIA survey units Owner: Forest Industry/Corporate, Non-Corporate/NIPF (private owners only) Species group: Pine, Soft Hardwood, Hard Hardwood Management type: Planted Pine, Natural Pine, Mixed Oak- Pine, Upland Hardwood, Lowland Hardwood Age class: 5 year cohorts 4
5 Multi-Product Equilibrium in SRTS Demand Price or Harvest Projection by Product Demand Elasticities by Product Equilibrium Price by Product Supply/Inv Shifts by Product- Owner-Unit Supply Price & Inventory Elasticities by Product-Owner-Unit Inventory Module by product Inv t+1 =Inv t +Grw - Rem Removals by Product-Owner-Unit Goal Program Removals by mgt. type-age class 5

Disaggregated elasticities estimated from comprehensive and representative data may significantly improve performance of SRTS in the long run. As to our next steps Prepare paper for submission and consideration for the special issue of Forest Policy and Economics Re-estimate estimate elasticities after incorporating the latest available FIA plot and tree data Estimate regeneration and timber stand improvement (TSI) elasticities, incorporate them into SRTS, and evaluate the results 30
31 Overview of MP-SRTS Model (continued) Demand Assumptions Can Be Harvest Driven Solve for price consistent with exogenous harvest level Short run basin level studies Demand Driven Solve for price/harvest consistent with exogenous demand Medium run regional analysis Pi Price Di Driven Long-run harvest at constant real prices Harvest starts with FIA harvest distribution change modeled as a function of stumpage price and inventory (by user-defined product) 31
32 Overview of MP-SRTS Model (continued) Demand (by product product demands assumed independent) Qd = ƒ(price, Demand Shifters) Supply (by product, region, owner) Qs = ƒ(price, Inventory t-1 ) Constant elasticity functional form Model Solution Given the demand for this scenario (by year and product) Given the supply from changing inventory (by region, owner, year and product) Find the price - harvest level and harvest location (region/owner) that clears the market 32
33 SRTS Market By Product Demand is modeled at the aggregate level, i.e. whatever regions are included in the model are assumed to face the same demand curve Inventory is modeled to shift supply by product Binary search is used to find the market clearing price given the location of the aggregate demand curve and the location of the sub-basin/owner supply curves Supply curves are shifted by the previous change in inventory When the market clearing price is found, harvest levels for that price are calculated by sub-region/owner 33
