An econometric analysis of output supply and input demand in the Canadian softwood lumber industry

Abstract: Few studies have examined the own-price elasticity of Canadian softwood lumber supply or output-adjusted factor demand elasticities over the past two decades, despite the utility of these measures in understanding producer response to tariffs, to market shifts (such as the decline in U.S. public harvest), and to changes in domestic forest policies. The present analysis employs a normalized, restricted quadratic profit function approach to estimate lumber supply and Marshallian factor demand elasticities for th… Show more

“…These studies include the work of Buongiorno et al (1979), Rockel and Buongiorno (1982), Adams et al (1986), Wear and Lee (1993), Lewandrowski et al (1994), Myneni et al (1994), Adams and Haynes (1996), Bernard et al (1997), Latta and Adams (2000), Zhang and Sun (2001), Rao et al (2004), Stennes and Wilson (2005), Mogus et al (2006), among others. None of these papers seem to have properly accounted for the presence of a non-stationarity process that requires testing for cointegration to avoid potential problems of non-stationary residuals and spurious results (Granger and Newbold, 1974).…”
