Abstract

Economic evidence was the basis for the authors' recommendation that the USDA Forest Service use a discount rate of 4 percent for evaluating long-term investments in resource management. This rate approximates the long-term measures of the opportunity cost of capital in the private sector of the U.S. economy.
