| dcterms.abstract | The objective of this study is to investigate the economic impacts of Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification on global trade of forest products. Global Forest Products Model (GFPM) is used to predict export, import and net trade quantity of several forest products from year 2006 to 2056. The simulation findings suggest that: (1) Under the assumption that FSC certification plays negative effects on forest stock, Europe reduced sawnwood export; while Ireland became the net importer of sawnwood and wood pulp for next fifty years. (2) Under the assumption that FSC certification has no effects on forest stock, North America, Europe and Asia became the three major sawnwood importers; Europe and North America dominated sawnwood export; Africa significantly expanded its market share of sawnwood export from 1.3% in 2006 to 8.8% in 2056. Africa and Asia became the two largest importers of fuelwood. (3) Under the assumption that FSC certification plays positive effects on forest stock, Europe increased its export of sawnwood; Ireland became the net exporter of sawnwood and wood pulp since 2026. However, FSC certification has no impact on the trend of forestry stocks and products in Canada. | en |

| is.evaluation.notes | The primary objective of the study is to investigate the economic impacts of FSCcertification on global trade of forest products. The central question for this study toanswer is: How does FSC certification influence the international trade of forest productsin seven regions and different countries?' The study is an example of how modelling can be used to see impacts on trade flows and make predictions towards the future. Not sure whether these modelling results are to be taken as sufficiently thorough. | |

| is.evaluation.quotes | Simulation results suggest that when FSC certification plays an overall positive effect, it should help forest stock growth and forest product export, leading to better welfare to the community and the country where FSC certification certified forest located. This serves as the driving force for the FSC certification. | |
