Thus we want to compare a financial prevention tool with a physical one. Our analysis also consider the non-profit services provided by the forest. We produce several comparative static analysis especially on initial wealth, on initial forest stock and on timber prices. We show that, under some assumptions, accumulation of savings and sylvicultural practices may be seen as perfectly substitutable for the forest... |
