ECOMIMIC APPROACHES TO THE ISSUES OF COLLECTIVE PROPERTY OF RESOURCES (EXAMPLE: FOREST PROPERTY) // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2013. Issue 12 (140). P. 52-56

The article deals with the proposed by American economist and Nobel laureate Elinor Ostrom mechanism of management of objects of common use: the alternative to privatization and nationalization. This option is based on the spontaneous order of self-organization and decentralization of management, as well as the rejection of attempts to develop a general national strategy for managing these resources. This approach poses new challenges to the economy of the forest sector in Russia in shaping the strategy of economic development of forestry.

NET PRESENT VALUE AS AN INDICATOR OF ECONOMIC EFFICIENCY IN FORESTRY // Tomsk State Pedagogical University Bulletin. 2015. Issue 5 (158). P. 48-51

The article explains the use of the net present value for the evaluation of the effectiveness of forest management strategies for specific sites. In Russian practice, this indicator is mainly used for the evaluation of investment projects, but in forestry developed countries such as Finland and Canada for several decades now this index is used to evaluate the effectiveness of management of forest areas and planning for logging and reforestation on them. This is due to the fact that in the forestry sector, as well as in investment projects a great role is played by the factor of time, i. e. flows of revenues and expenses can be considerably spaced apart in time. This means that the use of indicators such as net income, profit, profitability, etc. do not allow to obtain complete information and give distorted results, as the time factor is not taken into account. Using an integrated model of economic evaluation in the context of strategies may also lead to an increase in the volume of selective logging, because their benefits can be assessed more clearly.
