Business Economics

These are the questions we try to find answers for in the Business Economics research area. We analyze development and economic performance of forest holdings. We reveal how changing legal regulations, economic and societal conditions affect them. We discover options on how they could react on changing framework conditions.

What are the environmental impacts, how economic is it, and what are the social impacts of timber utilisation? To answer these questions we explain how to assess and evaluate sustainability. We analyze, quantify and evaluate environmental, economic and social impacts not only of forestry but of wood based energy generation in Germany as well. We give advice how to improve their environmental, economic and social performance.
