America's Renewable Resources

Historical Trends and Current Challenges

By: Kenneth D. Frederick,Roger A. Sedjo

By recording one country's experience with its vast natural resource base, America's Renewable Resources: Historical Trends and Current Challenges will help to inform the management of future demands on the resource base in the U.S. and throughout the world. The contributors focus specifically on renewable resources--water, forests, rangeland, cropland and soils, and wildlife--which possess the capacity to restore themselves after they have be consumed. Because this capacity can be destroyed and the time required for restoration can be very long, a balance in their use is necessary to sustain continued productivity. In arresting fashion, the authors trace the history of each resource's use from early colonial times through periods of dramatic, sometimes cataclysmic, changes in its utilization by an expanding, diversifying society. They show how unforeseen consequences have forced social institutions into existence and compelled policy makers, especially at the federal level, to deal with problems for which they were largely unprepared. America's Renewable Resources, by examining changes in demand, technologies, policies, and institutions, will assist both policy makers and the public at large to look past short-term events to the conditions fundamental to maintaining our future economic and environmental wellbeing. Originally published in 1991

My Eye on the Prize

An International Economist’s Search for the Nobel Prize

By: Roger A. Sedjo

My Eye on the Prize: An International Economist’s Search for the Nobel Prize By: Roger A. Sedjo A memoir of the professional career of international economist, author, and Nobel Prize winner Roger A. Sedjo, My Eye on the Prize: An International Economist’s Search for the Nobel Prize details his efforts taken to capture the 2007 Nobel Prize. A dream since he was small, Sedjo devoted a lifetime to earning the Prize, taking part in a variety of complex situations in many corners of the world, from Korea to South Africa and prewar Afghanistan to Brazil. Retrace his steps to achieving his goal, which involved waiting for Kissinger in Zambia, providing notes for President George H. W. Bush’s speech at Rio ‘92 in Brazil, working for a Global model at a former hunting palace in Austria, and coauthoring the UN Climate Assessment report; and discover how the culmination of his experiences led to winning the Prize—by almost serendipitously stumbling through the side door!

The Long-Term Adequacy of World Timber Supply

By: Roger A. Sedjo,Kenneth S. Lyon

Projecting modest future growth for both prices and harvest levels, this study, first published in 1990, provides theoretical and empirical justification for challenging the conventional wisdom that real timber prices will rise for the indefinite future. The study presents fifty-year projections of regional and world harvest levels, world market price, and investments in forest regeneration by region. This book will be of particular interest to students of economics and environmental studies.

The Comparative Economics of Plantation Forestry

A Global Assessment

By: Roger A. Sedjo

Plantation forestry is the planting, managing, and harvesting of trees for the production of industrial wood. Originally published in 1983, the principal focus and contribution of the study lies in Roger Sedjo’s examination of the economic returns in twelve forest regions throughout the world. The results of the analysis strongly demonstrate the feasibility of major expansion of plantation forestry in a number of areas around the world and suggest the likelihood of major shifts in the principal supply areas. The results also have potentially important implications for countering the threats of deforestation. This title will be of interest for students of Environmental Studies.

Sustainability of Temperate Forests

By: Roger A. Sedjo,Alberto Goetzl,Stevenson O. Moffat

RFF's Roger Sedjo and his colleagues discuss initiatives designed to promote and enhance sustainable forestry in temperate countries. While concerns about tropical deforestation are considerable, temperate forests account for the vast majority of the world's roundwood production and most global trade in wood and paper. Improving forest sustainability in such regions is imperative, economically and environmentally. This book illustrates how far nations have progressed, and how far they still need to go, in that effort. The authors describe how temperate nations address forest sustainability, discussing recent developments affecting forestry and trade. Their compilation of international data on forest practices and regulation provides a useful comparative perspective. They analyze the effect of institutional changes (e.g., new laws) on land management. The volume assesses how national forestry industries are adapting to new laws and policies in the face of new realities in production and markets, particularly in the context of international trade and global competition. Country profiles provide details on sustainability policy and performance in eight timber-exporting or major wood-using temperate nations: the United States, Canada, Finland, Sweden, Germany, France, New Zealand, and Chile. The authors also assess how each nation would be affected by the application of various criteria for sustainability.

Postwar Trends in U.S. Forest Products Trade

A Global, National, and Regional View

By: Roger A. Sedjo,Samuel J. Radcliffe

By the end of World War II, the United States had become well integrated into the world markets for forest products. No longer can domestic prices of forest products be viewed as being wholly determined by domestic demand and supply, nor even by North American supply and demand, but must be viewed in a worldwide context. Originally published in 1980, this work provides a comprehensive overview of the nature of global forestry, particularly as it pertains to international trade flows of forest products, and analyses the role of the United States in a global context. This is a valuable resource for any student or researcher interested in environmental studies, global trade relations, and foreign market development.
