Aj. Plantinga, THE COST OF CARBON SEQUESTRATION IN FORESTS - A POSITIVE ANALYSIS, Critical reviews in environmental science and technology, 27, 1997, pp. 269-277
Estimates of the cost of large-scale carbon sequestration programs are
based on normative criteria. In this paper, carbon cost schedules are
derived using land use elasticities from an econometric analysis of f
orest and agricultural land use. The results indicate that normative a
nalyses underestimate the true costs of carbon sequestration programs.
