Examination of North American softwood lumber species substitution using discrete choice preferences and disaggregated end-use markets

Abstract: Over the past 20 years, four significant and contentious softwood lumber trade disputes have taken place between the United States and Canada. The US International Trade Commission (USITC), relying on aggregate market assessments using elasticity of demand estimation and cointegration methods, has ruled that all North American softwood lumber species are perfectly fungible. The objective of this study is to disaggregate the US softwood lumber market by estimating cross-price elasticity of demand for North Amer… Show more

“…Tilton , and Schlabach identify several more general substitution types from economic and technological perspectives, respectively, that can arise from many potential influences. Economists are especially interested in the role of material costs, which have generally been shown to induce substitution in the long run for highly aggregated materials and end-uses. , While this result has held for some disaggregated studies of specific materials and end-uses with shorter time periods, it has not been consistent. This leads Tilton to assert an “alternative” view of substitution that occurs indirectly through technological innovations. High input costs and environmental policy are among the key drivers of technological advances in environmental technologies. …”
