Abstract

While extreme weather events are often localized, the potential effects on global forests can be far reaching due to the interconnected nature of forest product markets. To better understand these dynamics, this study leverages historical forest-based wind damage data in the United States and applies this information as shocks within a global forest sector outlook model. A large, localized wind event modeled as a shock to the US South creates a one-time increase of 18.7 million m3 from salvage harvest operations, equal to over 4% of national harvest. This crowds out traditional harvest activities, leading to downward pressure on prices in the short run, followed by a persistent effect that could take approximately 25 years to dissipate from markets. Average annual wind damage contributes downward pressure on roundwood prices between 1% and 4% in the United States, and this effect is distributed to other countries. The findings suggest that large, localized shocks reverberate across regions and wood product markets due to their interconnected supply chains and trade patterns, and these impacts have important temporal dynamics. Another key result is that the magnitude of these effects are offset by endogenous market reactions in other markets. In other words, unaffected regions change their harvesting patterns in order to compensate for changes in the availability of fiber, shedding light on the importance of capturing global channels as large shocks materialize in changes in market dynamics internationally. Monte Carlo simulations suggest a wide confidence band on salvage harvest rates and prices.

解读影响:极端天气事件如何扰乱木制品市场
虽然极端天气事件往往是局部性的,但由于林产品市场的相互关联性,其对全球森林的潜在影响可能是深远的。为了更好地了解这些动态变化,本研究利用了美国历史上基于森林的风灾数据,并将这些信息作为冲击应用于全球林业展望模型中。在美国南部模拟的一次大规模局部风灾冲击中,抢救性采伐作业一次性增加了 1870 万立方米,相当于全国采伐量的 4% 以上。这挤掉了传统的采伐活动,在短期内对价格产生下行压力,随后产生持续影响,大约需要 25 年才能从市场中消失。在美国,年均风灾对圆木价格造成的下行压力在 1% 到 4% 之间,这种影响在其他国家也有分布。研究结果表明,由于供应链和贸易模式相互关联,大规模的局部冲击会在不同地区和木制品市场之间产生反响,而且这些影响具有重要的时间动态性。另一个关键结果是,这些影响的程度被其他市场的内生性市场反应所抵消。换句话说,未受影响的地区会改变其收获模式,以弥补纤维供应的变化,这揭示了捕捉全球渠道的重要性,因为巨大的冲击会在国际市场动态变化中显现出来。蒙特卡罗模拟表明,残余收获率和价格的置信区间很宽。
