Forest economics is a social science. Its purpose is the study of complexity surrounding forests and forestry, mainly natural production, property rights, competing uses, resource dynamics and time. The Swiss Forest Society aims to establish the science of forest economics in Switzerland, e.g. with this issue. Modern economics will be helpful in reaching this goal, owing to new approaches that take into account human behaviour,human preferences and institutional design.

The contributions of the economist Ronald Coase (1959, 1960) have radically changed the analysis and rectification of environmental problems. A subtly differentiated notion of property and the recognition of the double-sided nature of environmental conflicts enabled him to develop a new economic view on environmental problems. Property rights will be exchanged – provided that transaction costs make this possible. His insights led to several new fields of research, though misunderstandings about the Coase Theorem are still prevalent today. Forest economics research has followed more strongly the Coasean way of thinking in recent years; however, the potential is not yet exhausted by a long way.
