A meta-analysis on wood trade flow modeling concepts

Forest Policy and Economics

Based on a meta-analysis of 499 publications, this paper provides the first comprehensive overview of wood trade flow models, showing that they are predominantly used for policy analysis, rely on a narrow set of factors, and largely overlook emerging drivers such as urban dynamics.

Wood, Cities, and Trade — An Economic Analysis of the Global Urban Demand for Wood Products and the Dynamics of International Wood Trade

Université de Lorraine

This thesis assesses the capacity of wood trade flow models to support sustainable resource management by examining their theoretical foundations, factor coverage, and data quality, while proposing new approaches that integrate urban dynamics, improve trade data reliability, and enhance the modeling of the global wood economy.

Panorama des recherches sur la forêt et le bois du département EcoSocio INRAE

INRAE Sciences Sociales

Climat et carbone, risques, biodiversité, artificialisation des sols, bioéconomie ; les forêts, dans les régions tempérées comme tropicales, sont à l’intersection de nombreux enjeux économiques, sociaux et environnementaux. La recherche sur la gestion, la conservation et la valorisation de ces écosystèmes particulièrement vulnérables offre des perspectives stimulantes pour analyser et comprendre comment les sociétés réagissent face aux crises environnementales et comment elles redéfinissent leurs rapports aux ressources naturelles.
