This paper compares the performance of econometric land use models based on three proxies for agricultural land rent: farmers' revenues, land prices, and shadow land prices derived from a mathematical programming model. We consider different land use classes (agriculture, pasture, forest, urban, and other), different determinants (economic, physical, and demographic) of land use shares, and different spatial econometric specifications. It is found that the inclusion of spatial components significantly improves the quality of predictions. In terms of economic interpretation, the shadow land prices provide the most stable and intuitive results.

“…The second goal of this paper is to assess the impacts of the relocation of sawmill activities on other forest sectors such as the fuelwood and pulp sectors, as well as on the economic outcomes for the sector agents. To address this issue, we couple the MFA with a partial equilibrium forest sector model, the French Forest Sector Model (Lobianco et al, 2015;Caurla et al, 2013b,a;Lecocq et al, 2011) and we explore the economic consequences of three policy options that reduce roundwood export.…”

International audiencePart of the French timber transformation industry suffers from difficulties to adapt to recent changes on global markets. This translates into net exports of raw wood and imports of transformed products, detrimental to both the trade balance and the local creation of wealth. At the same time, no consistent and homogeneous accounts for wood product production and consumption exist at this time. This article first aims at objectifying this situation by undertaking the first material flow analysis of the French forest-wood supply chain. We then evaluate the potential consequences of various scenarios of raw wood exports reduction policies, namely subsidies for consumption or transformation and taxation of exports, on both economic outcomes for the different actors and material flows. We thus provide an example of coupling material flow analysis with economic modeling in an attempt to move from the diagnostic phase to the assessment of possible actions within a decision-making perspective

“…Output prices are endogenous for the national market, and exogenous if the international market is considered. Recent developments of the model include spatialization of wood resources [54], and the inclusion of a forestry management module allowing for the introduction of new tree species depending on expected future profits [55]. The expected returns are calculated for 2006 and 2100 at the French administrative region scale (NUTS2).…”

Interaction between mitigation and adaptation is a key question for the design of climate policies. In this paper, we study how land use adaptation to climate change impacts land use competition in the agriculture, forest and other land use (AFOLU) sector and how a mitigation policy in agriculture might affect this competition. We use for this purpose two sector-specific bio-economic models of agriculture and forest combined with an econometric land use shares model to simulate the impacts of two climate change scenarios (A2 and B1, 2100 horizon), and a greenhouse gas emissions from agriculture policy consisting of a tax of between 0 and 200 e/tCO 2 equivalent. Our results show that both climate change scenarios lead to an increase in the area devoted to agriculture at the expense of forest which could have a negative impact on reducing greenhouse gas emissions responsible for climate change. The mitigation policy would curtail agricultural expansion, and thus could counteract the effects of land use adaptation to climate change.In other words, accounting for land use competition results in a reduction of the abatement costs of the mitigation policy in the agricultural sector.
