Abstract

We present the statistics of articles focusing on optimal forest rotation age or associated with the Faustmann Formula following David Newman's, 2002 review article. In addition, we investigate the number of articles looking at forest investment, forest valuation, single-stand, forest management, fire risk, disease/ pest, conservation, and carbon/ climate change. Finally, we propose a unified framework based on the original intent of the Faustmann Formula – forest asset valuation – and call on instructors of forest economic courses to use it in communication with students and for forest economists to perform more research on asset valuation at stand and especially forest levels.
