In contrast, a certification scheme for sustainably produced timber (tropical or non-tropical) protects the forests by raising their economic value. Examined here the impact of a certification scheme on German demand for tropical timber. A partial-equilibrium model is developed for the German tropical timber market as a whole as well as for five important submarkets representing 50% of the total demand. The results reveal that a credible certification scheme can induce a significant expansion of demand for sustainably produced tropical timber. This holds true for a scheme restricted to Germany as well as for an OECD-wide approach.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Physica\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 1996-07-10\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9783790809558\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-3-642-51735-8\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 178\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Physica-Verlag HD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47389380673676,"sku":"9783790809558","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9783790809558.jpg?v=1775760745","url":"https:\/\/fh90cf-fv.myshopify.com\/products\/9783790809558","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
