Many models of international trade assume that perfect competition exists and externalities do not distort market behavior. The Law of One Price (LOP) is said to hold when the price of a similar product is the same in different markets when expressed in the same currency. Considering pulpwood markets, it has been suggested that long-term relationships exist among various markets but the LOP does not necessarily hold. Most of this research has been performed for the most developed forest sectors in the world such as the United States and Scandinavia. With the progressing globalization of forest production, we expected that pulpwood prices in different countries would follow similar trends. The objective of this research was to study the global pulpwood market and the relationships among the most important producers. Using Johansen cointegration method, the LOP was tested for pulpwood prices in the United States, Canada, Germany, Sweden, Finland, Norway, France, Spain, Chile, Brazil, New Zealand, and Australia from 1988 to 2012. The results suggested that while several long-term price relationships have been discovered, the LOP generally did not hold. The exception were Germany and Norway, where the LOP was close to holding for coniferous prices.Â

Leadership at cities and municipalities can be instrumental in beginning local conversation regarding climate change and urban forest policies. Much research has been devoted to national climate change actions, but research focusing on reducing human vulnerabilities to climate change is lacking. This study presents results of a survey of U.S. Conference of Mayors Climate protection Agreement (MCPA) members, representing 1,054 cities and 93.6 million people, conducted to improve the understanding of how mayors view urban forest policies related to climate change. The goals of the study were to examine local government initiatives for climate change and urban forests and how mayors prioritize these investments. The results indicated that a variety of local climate change mitigation and adaptation actions were being pursued by member MCPA cities. This is important as the international climate change policy rarely acknowledges the role of cities tackling climate change adaptation, although they are vulnerable settlements and at the same time important emitters.

We determined whether wood-using mills’ locations spatially depended upon timber product harvest levels and the number of complementary species group mills within and between Mississippi counties. County mill count, either pine or hardwood, was the dependent variable. County timber product harvest levels (thousand green tons) for pine sawtimber, pine pulpwood, and pine poles along with count of hardwood mills were pine model predictors; the hardwood model included hardwood sawtimber and pulpwood harvests and pine-type mill count. Poisson regression models were augmented to Spatial Lag of X models as necessary to account for spatial dependencies.
Pine product harvesting direct effects were absent. Own-county pine pulpwood harvests positively influenced pine mill counts in neighboring counties (t = 3.21, p = 0.0013); pine sawtimber to less so (t = 1.77, p = 0.0766); while pine pole harvests produced the opposite effect (t = -1.96, p = 0.0505). Pine sawtimber and pulpwood competition increased with procurement radii. Greater hardwood pulpwood harvesting (t = 4.44, p 0.0001) and pine mill count (t = 2.70, p = 0.0085) indicated a significant own-county hardwood mill presence. This is germane to log trucking output, wood utilization efficiency, standing timber prices, and consequently timberland value.
