Abstract
⺠Uncertainties, irreversibility, and externalities are modeled in Land use decisions. ⺠Treating forests benefits as stochastic results in higher optimal forest stocks. ⺠Sub-optimal decision result from not considering global environmental externalities. ⺠Climate change effect on agriculture leads to lower optimal forest stock. ⺠Higher social discount rates encourage deforestation over preservation.
