Forest economic monitoring

The project collects data on the economic situation of large forests in Austria (forestry operations >500 hectares) during the specified period and presents the current developments in this area. To this end, operating accounts are prepared, as well as individual and inter-company evaluations (such as standardized mean value calculations (nominal and real) and panel calculations for the overall mean and the total of 9 groups for the final evaluation, as well as the preparation of individual cost and income statements (benchmark comparison) and “hit lists” for approx. 100 forestry reporting companies. The aggregated key figures are important empirical data bases for forestry policy makers as well as for forestry economic research and teaching at BOKU University and are included, among other things, in the annual forest report of the Federal Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Regions and Water Management.
