2.4 Contemporary research issues
Engineering approaches,
-Advantage for analyses of the long-run supply
-Not be well suited for short and medium-run analysis of
market dynamics and policy effects
Positive econometric models of supply
To conduct modeling at finer scales and then aggregate
the out comes to simulate supply responses
To expand aggregate timber supply models to include
additional information on the structure of timber
inventory on the righthand side of the supply equation
