I am pleased to announce our newest paper in the journal of Forest Policy and Economics is now published online.

I am pleased to announce that our paper on "Global timber investments, 2005 to 2017" has been published in the journal of Forest Policy and Economics and is now accessible online.

Highlights

?We estimated timber investment returns for 22 countries and 54 species/management regimes in 2017, without land costs.

?Real Internal Rates of Return (IRRs) without inflation ranged widely, from 3% to almost 30%.

?Asia had the best calculated investment returns, but less available land; the Northern Hemisphere had the lowest returns.

?South America had good investment returns coupled with available land; Oceania performed well due to proximity to Asia.

?Returns to most planted species decreased from 2005 to 2017; including land costs decreased IRRs significantly.
