• A comparison of the global warming effects of wood fuels and fossil fuels taking albedo into account 

      Holtsmark, Bjart (Discussion papers;778, Working paper, 2014-04)
      Traditionally, wood fuels, like other bioenergy sources, have been considered carbon neutral because the amount of CO2 released can be offset by CO2 sequestration due to the regrowth of the biomass. Thus, until recently, ...
    • Faustmann and the Climate 

      Hoel, Michael; Holtsmark, Bjart; Holtsmark, Katinka (Discussion papers;701, Working paper, 2012-08)
      This paper presents an adjusted Faustmann Rule for optimal harvest of a forest in the presence of a social cost of carbon emissions. A contribution of the paper is to do this within theoretical and numerical frameworks ...
    • Optimal harvest age considering multiple carbon pools - a comment 

      Holtsmark, Bjart; Hoel, Michael; Holtsmark, Katinka (Discussion papers;704, Working paper, 2012-09)
      In two recent papers, Asante and Armstrong (2012) and Asante et al. (2011) considered the question of optimal harvest ages. They found that the larger are the initial pools of dead organic matter (DOM) and wood products, ...
