A ?top-down? approach to modeling state forest growth, removals, and inventory

A method for determining the implications for individual states of regional projections is presented.

Industry production is shifted in response to estimated stumpage price changes. Removals are allocated based on production and inventory shifts. Results from a recent analysis of the southern timber situation are discussed.
