Boycotting tropical timber reduces its economic value and provides
an incentive to burn down forests, making them available for
subsequent agricultural use or livestock farming. In contrast, a
certification scheme for sustainably produced timber (tropical or
non-tropical) protects the forests by raising their economic value.
Examined here the impact of a certification scheme on German demand
for tropical timber. A partial-equilibrium model is developed for
the German tropical timber market as a whole as well as for five
important submarkets representing 50% of the total demand. The
results reveal that a credible certification scheme can induce a
significant expansion of demand for sustainably produced tropical
timber. This holds true for a scheme restricted to Germany as well
as for an OECD-wide approach.
