Stumpage Prices, Volume Sold, and Volumes Harvested from the National Forests ofthe Pacific Northwest Region, 1984 to 1996

摘要

Two measures of stumpage prices and timber volumes from individual NationalForests have been compiled for the Pacific Northwest Region, USDA Forest Service. The first measure is the price and volume of timber sold (1984-96) for the major species for each National Forest. The second measure is the price and volume of timber harvested (1988-96) from individual National Forests. Several price-related issues are discussed including seasonality in the data, the role of prices in monitoring market activity, and the impact of the recent drop in Forest Service timber sales.
