Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Shaun Tanger's research primarily focuses on the economics of the forest products sector and related industries. He has investigated methodological variations in economic contribution analyses for forestry and forest-related industries in the US South, comparing different approaches using IMPLAN. Tanger has also examined factors influencing timber markets, including modeling prices for sawtimber stumpage in the South-Central United States and optimizing pellet supply systems with biomass quality considerations. His work extends to assessing the economic impact of the forest products sector. Additionally, Tanger has explored landowner willingness to accept compensation for forest thinning and the influence of information on this decision. He has also analyzed the relationship between regulatory quality and forest product exports to India using a gravity model approach. Tanger's scholarship metrics include an h-index of 11, 64 total publications, and 355 total citations.
