Abstract

Simulation models were developed to estimate optimal risk-adjusted rotations for Eucalyptus camaldulensis pulpwood plantations in Thailand. Sources of variation in the simulation model were costs, yields, and prices. Monte Carlo simulation was used to estimate expected land expectation values (LEVs) and standard deviation of LEVs for a range of rotation ages and planting spacings. Investors 'risk tolerance levels were incorporated to determine the optimal risk-adjusted rotation. Results indicated that the optimal rotation length was at year 8 or 9 depending on discount rate used and did not vary with risk tolerance levels.
