The seminar on the production, marketing and use of finger-jointed sawnwood was held in Hamar from 15 to 19 September 1980 at the invitation of the Government of Norwa;y. It was organized under the auspices of the Timber Committee, a subsidiary body of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (ECE) in Geneva, Switzerland. Participants represented the ECE member countries of Belgium, Canada, Denmark, Finland, France, Federal Republic of Germany, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norwa;y, Poland, Sweden, Union of Soviet Socialist Republics, United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland and United States of America. Observers from Australia and South Africa attended as well, and the United Nations Organization for Industrial Development (UNIDO) was represented. Mr. R. Birkeland of Norwa;y was elected Chainnan, and Mr. V. Turushev of the USSR Vice-Chainnan. During the seminar, study visits were arranged for participants: to Berger Langmoen A. S. , Brumunddal, whi ch produces sawnwood, planed wood, wooden packaging, building components using finger-jointed timber, parquet flooring and fibreboard; to the Moelven Group, Moelv, which produces modular houses and other types of timber-framed buildings and building panels, sawnwood, glue-laminated products, skis, etc. , as well as a number of types of mechanical equipment and vehicles.

This volume comprises fifteen papers exploring the consequences of applying modern time-series methods, particularly co-integrated time-series methods, for the analysis of forest economics problems. The methods represent the forefront of econometrics in this area, and the volume is the first of its kind. An introductory paper explains the econometrics of unit-root processes. Much of what follows in the other papers depends upon only a few of the ideas presented in the introduction. The volume includes tests of, e.g., the Law of One Price, land valuation models, demand and supply models, Granger-causality, and forecast models. The reader will learn a great deal about forest economies, particularly in Northern Europe, and about the practical use of modern time-series methods. The methods presented are applicable to other fields of economics. The volume is aimed at researchers in applied economics and as a supplement to (advanced) theoretical textbooks, mainly in Natural Resource Economics.

This volume comprises a selection of original contributions presented at a workshop held in Montpellier, France, in June 1997. The two main objectives of the workshop were, firstly, to bring together what is understood about the processes underlying agroforestry practice, and, secondly, to provide a forum to explore relevant models and modelling approaches. The workshop was also able to play a role in examining the agroforestry systems encountered in temperate and Mediterranean areas, including both traditional and more innovative agroforestry practices. The main aspects discussed were: ecological interactions amongst components, environmental impact, economics and policy modelling.
