The German forest based sector is one of the major global exporters of wood and paper products. Will the sector be able to holds its position in future?
The forest based industry sector is a relevant part of the national economy in Germany. We regularly analyse international developments in order to fathom out if the competitive situation of the German forest sector has changed. The analyses help to contribute in the continuous policy consultancy process.
International trade theory provides various approaches to measure competitiveness. These can be classified into two groups: Result-oriented indicators (ex-post perspective) and determinant-oriented indicators (ex-ante perspective). Result-orientated indicators reveal competitiveness on base of market data of the past. Determinant-orientated indicators are based on the assumption of a correlation between determinants and the competitive situation of a country.
