Game Analysis On China's Wooden Forest Products Trade And Environmental Protection Policy

Along with the various countries' open economy unceasing development as well as theglobal economical scale gradually expansion, the non-sustainable production and the expenseactivity which increased day by day has gradually surpassed the natural environment itselfbearing capacity, thus has caused the global environment degeneration, even displayed in thelocal area and the domain for the serious pollutionRelations between wooden forest products trade and the environmental protection areextremely complex. Both must be promoted and conflicted mutually looked from the idealstratification plane, namely along with economical globalization arrival, the various countriesall may seek the economical development by the free trade. Thus the forest resources will beobtained the full disposition and the use. The economical development and the growthsupported by trade can provide more income to the various countries to improve and the protectenvironment. Trade above the high environmental protection level should be freer, but lookedfrom the reality stratification plane, both also are conflicted mutually. The trade liberalizationalso has the possibility to cause the forest resources to encounter unsuitable development andthe use, creates the pollution and the destruction, and initiates the new environment crisis; But itis also essential to limit or control certain forest products trade for the environmental protection.The question on the relation between forest products trade and the environmental protectionalready aroused the various countries' interest in on century's end. But we can consider thematter in and of itself in no way. The research of the conflicts between the forest product tradeand the environmental protection cannot leave this kind of big background of now worldunequal international economy order, cannot leaving this kind of reality. But the ultimateobjective unity of the environment and the trade had decided both can be coordinated.Under background of sustainable development being the mutual recognition and trade andenvironment globalization, it has already became a hot spot of the current forest products traderesearch unifying the Chinese national condition and forestry condition to study the woodenforest products trade and the environment relations in China. This paper will carry on theanalysis and the discussion regarding the Chinese wooden forest products trade and theenvironmental question in the foundation of the predecessor's study. The paper utilizesinternational trade theory, econology and game theory, combines with present situation ofwooden forest products trade, and adopts the systems analytic method, the real diagnosisanalysis and the standard analysis unified method as well as the literature consult andon-the-spot investigation unified method. The essential reason of gambles between woodenforest products trade and environment questions lies in the competitive use of forest resourcesand the environmental cost without being considered. And through analysis on various gamerelations among forest resources utility, author suggests the innovation of forestry economicsystem, perfection on laws and rules of forest products trade, technical innovation and management level enhancement, and so on, which will all benefit harmonious developmentbetween wooden forest products trade and environment, and hopes to provide the model and thereference to Chinese wooden forest products trade and the environmental protection policy.The paper carries on the discussion from following several aspects:First of all, from economic angle, the paper analyzes the essential reason of environmentalproblem and discusses the competitive use of environmental function and the marketmalfunction and the government malfunction causing the forest resources price not to reflect itsreal value, just away from its social cost. Regarding this, the methods like carrying on the forestresources the reasonable fixed price and defining forest utility rights and so on will be effectiveways to solve the environment cost internalization.Secondly, the paper analyzes various game relations between the wooden forest productstrade and environmental protection. First, the forest resources to a certain extent belong to thepublic resource, therefore which has caused the same result of "The Tragedy of the Commons";Second, the game relations also exist in the environment management. On the one hand, forestresources are excessively used. On the other hand, during the process of forest resources areused and produced other forestry products, the pollution will also be made. These all causedestruction of the environment. Therefore, the corresponding measures such as governmentalcontrol, pollution charge, property right assignment, pollution transaction and so on should becarried on. Third, except the domestic forest resources, the overseas resources should be usedreasonably. But the gambling of trade tariff barrier and non-tariff barrier in the resources useprocess between the country and the country appears. The developing countries like Chinacompared with the developed countries, technology is relatively weaker. So we shouldstrengthen the laws and regulations construction to break foreign trade barrier, encourage thetechnological innovation, and positively carry out the forest authentication and so on.In brief, the intercoordination between the forestry economic policy and the environmentalprotection and between the environmental protection policy and the forest products trade willpromote healthy development of forest products foreign trade, and the environmental protection.If they lack the coordination and even mutually come apart, it will cause the opposite result. Inorder to promote coordinated development between Chinese wooden forest products trade andenvironment, the paper proposed new mentality to promote coordinated development betweenChinese wooden forest products trade and the environment from the aspects of forestry systemreform, legal policy, technological innovation of forestry enterprise, green trade barrier,international cooperation and so on.
