Abstract

This paper examines logging policies in the Philippines through the use of an eleven-sector computable general equilibrium model. Several scenarios have been modeled based on a ban on commercial logging. The conclusion from the mathematical modeling is that a ban on commercial harvesting should be enforced in the Philippines.
