Abstract

This paper presents an economic model of short-rotation forestry and shows that Lemke's linear complementarity algorithm can be used to compute optimal sustainable harvesting strategies. As an example, we apply our method, using existing data, to calculate optimal harvesting strategies for a plantation consisting of two interdependent species of trees.
