هضم با درختان: تخفیف جرثقیل از بازده بلندپروازانه جنگلداری

Tail-hedge discounting is based on decomposition of returns from long-term investments in a fraction (gamma) that is correlated with consumption and another that is not. The first part is discounted at a discount rate that includes a risk premium, the other with the risk-free rate. We estimate gamma for forestry on Swedish data for stumpage prices and GDP per capita 1909–2012. We demonstrate that the result considerably changes the expected present value of medium-term and long-term forest investments.
