Modeling the Effects of Invasive Species on the International Trade of Forest Products Joseph Buongiorno, Shushuai Zu, Ruhong Li U.W. Madison James Turner Forest Research, Rotorua, NZ Jeff Prestemon USDA-FS, SO
2
Background U.S. forests at risk –Chestnut blight, early 1900s –Dutch Elm Disease, mid-1900s –Balsam and Hemlock Woolly Adelgids –Sudden Oak Death –Gypsy Moth –Spruce budworm –Oak wilt U.S. is largest producer, consumer, importer Globalization –GATT-WTO –NAFTA –FTAA Growing trade => growing threat Other countries face same issues
3
Objectives Losses incurred by producers and consumers due to timber supply reductions caused by invasive species Effects of regulations (phytosanitary rules and import bans) on producer and consumer welfare
4
Global Forest Products Model Dynamic Competitive equilibrium Demand Supply Trade 14 forest products 180 countries
