An economic analysis of the EU afforestation program in the south of Italy: background information
Optimal rotation rate of new plantations set up under Regulation (EEC) 2080/92 of June 30, 1992,considering not only timber benefits but also the subsidies provided by Regulation 2080/92 and the social benefits represented by C uptake
Social loss may occur when the cutting age is set according to private interests
A numerical analysis using data from Calabria, a south Italian region, for three representative species are chosen for the study
How would you analyse if the subsidies provide social benefits?
Private and social optimal rotation rate considering subsidies and C-uptake
Optimal rotation rate without subsidies and C-uptake
Optimal rotation rate with subsidies and without C-uptake
Optimal rotation rate without subsidies and with C-uptake
Regulation (EEC) 2080/92 and implications for C sequestration
Regulation (EEC) 2080/92 provides subsidies to encourage the afforestation of agricultural land and improvement of woodlands
Regulation 2080/92 is intended to sustain munity’s policy for
controlling agricultural production,
to contribute to improving forest resources in order to reduce the shortage of forestry products within the EU,
bat greenhouse effects by sequestering C, and
to achieve other environmental benefits (. soil erosion control, water control)
