“…In contrast to prior research on SFM by Guan, Xu, and Ip Ping Sheong [14], which explored the effects of FSC CoC certification on international trade, the studies by Chen et al [15] regarding the impact of forest certification on global timber product trade, and Klarić et al [17] who delved deeply into the benefits, motives, and shortcomings of FSC Chain of Custody certification in the wood industry, this research offers a new perspective by analysing the link between FSC CoC certification in Croatia and its wood product exports to the EU over a 21-year period, employing a unique gravity data approach. Furthermore, it integrates findings from other studies [20][21][22][23][29][30][31] that identified key macroeconomic indicators as decisive factors for export values. The use of dynamic panel data analysis further deepens this examination, emphasizing the crucial relationship between forest certification, sustainability, and market acceptance.…”

“…Reviewing the literature related to macroeconomic indicators and exports, several studies [20][21][22][23][24] have shown that traditional macroeconomic indicators (such as nominal GDP, GDP per capita, unemployment, manufacturing value added, real effective exchange rate, and distance between countries) have been identified as significant and crucial determinants that lead to higher export values and stimulate export activities. For instance, Brazil's GDP variable has demonstrated a positive influence on exports of wood product, illustrating that the higher economic growth in a country theoretically corresponds to higher production levels, and consequently, a greater quantity exported [22].…”

In the wood industry, forest certification stands as a pivotal factor that supports the implementation of sustainability and market acceptance. Recognizing its significance for both the wood sector and exports, this study explores the impact of Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Chain of Custody certificates on the export of Croatian wood to European Union (EU) countries. Through a dynamic panel data analysis using the system Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) estimator, our aim is to uncover the implications of this certification on wood industry exports. Additionally, the model assesses other determinants of wood exports, such as GDP, GDP per capita, remoteness, manufacturing value added, unemployment, and the real effective exchange rate. The results indicate that the number of FSC certificates during the observed period (2000–2021) have a positive and significant impact on wood exports from Croatia, suggesting that wood certification plays a predominant role in shaping such exports. Furthermore, the econometric analysis confirms the statistical significance of selected macroeconomic indicators, including nominal Gross Domestic Product (GDP), GDP per capita, unemployment, added value of manufacturing and real effective exchange rate, on wood exports. This study emphasizes the importance of forest certification in promoting wood exports and improving market competitiveness, offering a unique contribution to the literature by considering a range of macroeconomic factors in the analysis.

The purpose of this paper is to explore the effect of global value chain participation (GVCP) on the gains from trade and trade costs of the timber industry and reveal the underlying influence mechanism. The GVCP Index, Novy (2011) method, and WWZ Value Added Decomposition method have been used to measure the degree of global value chain participation, trade costs, and gains from trade of the timber industry, respectively. The results show that the export gains from trade of the timber industry featured inter-annual sustainability. Further, GVCP, has an insignificant impact, suggesting that the industry’s degree of GVCP is limited. While the current trade cost and policy barriers to forest product trade harm it. And the cost of export trade has a strong lag effect on gains from trade. The increase of current trade costs reduces the short-term benefits; but in the long run, the trade costs and benefits show a synchronous growth trend. To maintain and enhance its competitiveness, therefore, the industry will have to change the GVCP degree and mode of the timber industry, reduce short-term trade costs, and improve the quality and legitimacy certification level of timber products.

Global trade of wood forest products is a complex system, and its flow between trading countries forms a trade network of wood forest products. The transmission efficiency of the trade network largely depends on its network structure. The commonly used method in recent years to analyze the network structure is complex network analysis. Therefore, this study used the complex network method, through using kernel density curves every 5 years to show distribution changes of complex network indictors to study the evolution of the trade network of global trade of wood forest products, based on trade data from 1995 to 2020. The results show that the trade relationship between countries is deepening. Compared with resource-based wood forest products, the trade of deeply processed wood forest products is larger in scale, more complex in structure, and more closely linked. The core countries in global wood forest products trade mainly comprise North American and European countries, while several developing countries in Asia with abundant forest and labor endowments are gradually joining the core tier and jointly control the trade market. We also revealed the intervention of world forestry development goals and national forestry policies on changes to trade structure and trade groups.
