In Greece and internationally, the roundwood is one of the most important forest products as it is used widely in construction and building sector. In this study the process of wholesale long-length ...roundwood (>2m) price determination is depicted in the form of an inverse demand system. The empirical application based on five species of long-length roundwood using yearly data for auctions providing reasonable and promising results. The own-quantity flexibilities suggest that the responses of prices to own-quantity changes are inelastic while Allais coefficients suggest substitutability between the different species of log-length roundwood.
Sve se više sužava vremenski obzor u kojemu se pojedinac sa svojim obrazovanjem može osjećati „sigurnim“ na tržištu rada, a globalizacija, multikulturalno zajedništvo te brz ekonomski rast i ...tehnološki razvoj postaju veliki izazovi, pri čemu znanje i ljudska kreativnost postaju osnovni resursi razvoja i opstanka na svjetskom tržištu. Cilj rada je utvrditi obrazovnu strukturu zaposlenih na području prerade drva i proizvodnje namještaja, pri čemu je naglasak stavljen na zastupljenost visokoobrazovanih stručnjaka. Analiza obrazovne strukture obuhvatila je, prema Nacionalnoj klasifikaciji djelatnosti (NKD), područje DD 20 – Prerada drva i proizvodnja proizvoda od drva i pluta te područje DN 36 – Proizvodnja namještaja i ostala prerađivačka industrija. Istraživanje pokazuje da s 50% ispitanih poslovnih subjekata upravlja visokoobrazovani kadar, dok je među ukupno zaposlenima u preradi drva i proizvodnji namještaja samo 3,77% visokoobrazovanih.
The paper analyses the evolution of industrial production in Romanian wood and furniture industry since 1993 to 1998 in the context of restructuring process of the large state-owned companies after ...1989, presents the global indicators of the private wood sector in 1999 and constructs labour productivity indices per employee since 1996 to 1998. The paper concludes that the state should offer support to the companies in the field to upgrade their technologies and equipment in order to create products with higher value-added.
This paper is the first of four country case studies which is a part of a broader research programme addressing trade and structural adjustment issues in non-member economies which was conducted as a ...follow-up to Trade and Structural Adjustment: Embracing Globalisation (OECD, 2005) which identified policies for successful trade-related structural adjustment. This paper studies the trade liberalisation experience of Chile from 1973 onward. The report consists of 5 main parts; Part 1 provides the introduction, part 2 looks at the trade liberalisation in Chile which was implemented in three phases, (1) initial trade reforms (1973-84), (2) trade reform after a temporary policy reversal(1985-89) and (3) after 1990. Part 3 looks at the evolution and structure of exports and imports, and Part 4 looks at sectoral developments in the copper industry, agrofood industry, wood and wooden products industry and the textiles and clothing industry. Part 5 concludes with lessons learnt. The experience of Chile shows that trade reform has been essential for realigning the incentive structures in Chile. A stable macroeconomic environment, trade reform starting with the elimination of quantitative restrictions, introduction of flat tariffs, coherent exchange rate policy, sound institutional framework, rule of law, mild promotion of exports, use of foreign capital, and relatively flexible labour market policies have been important factors in Chili's successful trade liberalisation experience.
