Short-and long-run effects of sustainable forest management practices on West Malaysian log supply : an ARDL Approach.

The Malaysian log supply is facing deficit since 1995; thereafter major timber products have moved from resource surplus to one of deficit. It seems obvious that without planted forest in the future, the timber industries have almost reached the limit for growth. The log supply model for West Malays...
