%V 37
%X A specialist on the Russian forest industry reviews the production, trade, and consumption of forest products in seven macroregions of the former Soviet Union and estimates future trade activity using a model of the forest sector incorporating 10 five-year periods of analysis. Past and present trends in production, consumption, and trade are outlined via 12 tables derived from original statistical sources. Future estimates of forest-sector activity are presented through seven tables that extrapolate behavioral patterns of market economies with respect to the consumption of forest products to the former Soviet republics.
