dc.description.abstractThis study assesses the timber permit system and policy, as well as four alternative policy measures: legislative approaches; establishment of forest plantations; improvements in the technical efficiency of saw-milling; and liberalization of the timber market. The study finds that the timber permit system has failed to protect Sri Lanka’s forests, resulting in higher timber prices for consumers and lower prices for producers, allowing most of the timber rents to be extracted by timber traders.en
