初级木材产品进口对我国的环境效应

对初级木材产品进口对我国的短期环境影响和可能产生的长期环境影响进行分析,指出在短期,初级木材产品大量进口有利于减轻国内木材生产部门的环境负外部性;但在长期,进口有可能对国内森林资源培育的经济激励产生负面影响,从而长期效应与短期效应有可能发生偏离。因此,从长远看,更需要提供有效的制度激励,激发森林培育的动力和活力,以化解进口可能带来的负面影响。

Environmental Effects of China's Import on Primary Timber Products

This paper studies the short-run environmental effects of China's import on primary timber products, and the long-run effects may be brought by import. It indicates that in short run, import attributes to the alleviation of negative externality in timber products sector, but import may have negative economic incentive on the cultivation of forest resources in long run, thus there may be divergence between short-run and long-run effects. Further analysis points out that the establishment of effective institutional incentive is helpful to offset the potential negative effects of import.
