Forest Valuation under Carbon Pricing

A Real Options Approach

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Emissions trading schemes are increasingly being
adopted to combat climate change. New Zealand created
the world s first all sectors all gases such scheme
in 2008, awarding tradable credits for carbon
sequestration and imposing liabilities for emissions
(i.e. harvest or deforestation) from forestry. Adding
carbon pricing as a decision variable complicates
forest and forest land valuation, highlighting the
real options available to foresters (i.e. to defer
harvest or to change land use). Standard forest
valuation methodologies do not properly capture the
value impacts of carbon pricing on forestry. This
book was commissioned by the New Zealand Ministry of
Agriculture and Forestry, and develops a new approach bootstrapping real options analysis (BROA) to
address this shortcoming. The BROA approach is rich
enough to capture the complexities of forest
valuation under carbon pricing, while remaining
tractable enough to find practical application. It
should be useful to academics interested in valuing
complex real options, as well as to academics,
practitioners and policymakers interested in
evaluating the impact of carbon pricing on forestry
and forest land use.
