MODELLING FOREST PRODUCTS DEMAND, SUPPLY AND TRADE - Market modelling approach for EFSOS II

Through this background paper, members of the ToS and Outlook Correspondents are informed of the approach to the econometric analysis used for developing the market projections for EFSOS II. Due to cooperation with the Swedish Future Forest Project, initial results of these projections are already available. Outlook correspondents and ToS members are invited to review the results of the projections for their country (see separate excel spreadsheet). These results will be discussed in working group sessions during the ToS meeting, 23-24 November 2009. ToS members and outlook correspondents who will not be able to attend the meeting are invited to provide comments in writing directoly to Ragnar Jonsson at Ragnar Jonsson at Ragnar.Jonsson@ess.slu.se.
