| Research Abstract |
I investigated potential supplies and demands of carbon sequestration credits derived from forests. Small and dispersed supplies from small private forest owners were expected. A questionnaire survey was conducted, in which respondent large firms, potential buyers of carbon credits, were asked what they would do if stricter regulations on their carbon emissions are placed upon them. Credit trading was simulated using the agent-based modeling method, and time durations for trades to stabilize were observed.
