abstract: 'Questions related to economics figured prominently in the priority
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
information needs identified in the 1997 Tongass Land Management Plan.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Follow-on studies in economics were designed to improve understanding of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
aspects of the competitiveness of the Alaska forest sector, links
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
between Alaska timber markets and other markets as evident in prices,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and the relationship between resource allocation decisions and economic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
conditions in communities and the region. Analysis of the role of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
recreation and tourism in the regional economy was added to the topics
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
addressed, based on early results of work to describe economic dynamics.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Comparisons are undertaken to evaluate the economic changes taking place
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
in southeast Alaska, to analyze the sources of these changes, and to
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
determine if and why they differ from the changes taking place at larger
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
scales and those occurring in a similar rural and resource-abundant
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
region. Divergent views regarding the current role of the Tongass in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
regional economy are summarized and assessed by using contemporary
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
evidence. A variety of factors contribute to comparative and competitive
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
disadvantages for the forest products sector in southeast Alaska. Alaska
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
product and log markets are effectively integrated with other markets
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
supplied by producers in British Columbia and the Pacific Northwest.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Empirical evidence suggests the need to re-examine assumptions regarding
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
the relation between changes in ``basic{''''} sector activities and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employment (such as timber harvesting and wood products manufacturing)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
and ``nonbasic{''''} (or support sector) employment in the rural
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
communities of southeast Alaska. Many of the changes occurring in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
economy of rural southeast Alaska are driven by changes in the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
international markets in which Alaskan products compete, and are largely
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
independent of Tongass forest management.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unearned income and tourism have replaced resource-extractive industries
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
as the principal sources of income growth in the region. The
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
contribution of the Tongass National Forest to the regional economy has
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
become more complex and difficult to quantify. Forest management
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
policies that enhance the comparative advantages the region enjoys in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
providing both tourism opportunities and quality of life attributes will
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
aid communities in maintaining and expanding their economic
