Abstract

The governments of Malaysia and the Malaysian State of Sarawak need to assess possible changes in forest policy. Environmentalist pressure threatens traditional market relationships and patterns of business- government interaction. Harvest regulations, subsidies, trade restrictions, environmental controls, and property rights structures are all called into question. The teaching purpose is to understand problems of environmental externalities and public goods, and to analyze the effects of government policy on international trade, firm behavior, and environmental quality.
