Scottish Forestry: An Input-Output Analysis

Scottish Forestry: An Input-Output Analysis

Scottish Forestry: An Input-Output Analysis

A study to quantify the magnitude of the forestry sector's contribution to the Scottish economy. By confining the analysis purely to the links arising from production and processing and ignoring the other benefits provided by Scottish woodlands (such as recreation, biodiversity, tourism and enhanced landscapes), the study is limited in scope. However, it focuses on an important component of the sector's overall contribution to the Scottish economy, and one which is essential to a more comprehensive assessment of the value of Scottish forestry.

Welsh Forestry Multiplier Study: Final Report

Welsh Forestry Multiplier Study: Final Report

The purpose of this study was to improve the understanding of the role of the forestry industry in the Welsh economy. The forestry industry was defined to include the activities of private forestry owners, Forest Enterprise, forest management companies, timber harvesting, extracting, haulage and marketing companies, and primary processors including sawmills, wood-based panel manufacturers and paper mills. The research was informed by an extensive questionnaire and interview survey of forestry industry organisations. The financial information generated by the survey was incorporated into an input-output model of the Welsh economy to allow the indirect or 'multiplier' impacts of sector changes to be estimated.
