Special Issue on 

Forest Economics, Policy, and Social Science

Forest economics provides essential information that helps forest policy decision making at both the sectoral level and at the forest level. Traditionally, forest economics was concerned exclusively with the process of timber production. Today, however, its scope has expanded to take account of the multi-functional role that forests have in delivering not only economic benefits to society but also environmental, social and cultural benefits. The goal of this special issue is to provide a platform for scientists and academicians all over the world to promote, share, and discuss various new issues and developments in the area of Forest Economics, Policy, and Social Science.

In this special issue, we invite front-line researchers and authors to submit original research and review articles that explore Forest Economics, Policy, and Social Science. In this special issue, potential topics include, but are not limited to:
