The Forest And Agricultural Sector Optimization Model Fasom PDF Download

Excerpt from The Forest and Agricultural Sector Optimization Model (Fasom): Model Structure and Policy Applications The gams programming language is used for the compact representation of the large forestry and agricultural sectors and to solve the model; it was formulated originally as a nonlinear mathematical programming problem. The programming structure allows easy expansion of the pasom model. Pasom can model the forest and agricultural sectors either independently or simultaneously. The mod eling system is designed to provide information about the effects of a wide range of potential policies on carbon sequestration, market prices, land allocation, and consumer and producer wefare under alternative supply and demand scenarios and producer eligibility-participation constraints. The modeling system is designed so that the sensitivities of these policies and their results can be evaluated given different assumptions about policy structure and finances.
