We employ quasi-experimental causal inference approaches to assess the impacts of the growing wood pellet production on forest resource markets in 39 wood basins in the southeastern United States. The findings suggest that the wood pellet industry has limited impacts on the pulpwood markets in the region.
This presentation is led by a working group officer.
Learning Objectives:
Upon completion, participant will be able to understand the market dynamics and driving factors of the wood pellet industry in the U.S. South.
Up on completion, participant will be able to be aware of any impacts of growing industrial wood pellet production on the forest resource dynamics in the southeastern United State, the largest wood basket of the world
