Abstract: Abstract Peter Berck published numerous articles and book chapters related to the economics of forestry. His research covered, in approximate chronological order, four areas within forestry economics: (1) actual and optimal harvesting of timber, demand for timber, and, more generally, markets for wood products; (2) economic aspects of integrated management of forest pests; (3) old-growth redwoods, as a nonrenewable resource, and (4) impacts of timber harvesting and other aspects of forestry on income and employment in nearby communities. Interwoven in much of the research are analyses of effects of policy on efficiency and on forest-dependent communities.
