Dr. Jinggang Guo is an assistant professor and forestry specialist. His research interests
are multidisciplinary and fall within three categories: (1) Modelling markets and
international trade; (2) Economics of forest carbon benefits; and (3) Land use change.
He primarily relies on optimization modelling and econometrics to organize predictions
and determine the relevant counterfactuals. As a forestry specialist, he conducts
analysis and research on the management of timber resources, understanding timber
markets, and price trends at the local, national, and global levels. Jinggang coordinates
his extension and research activities with other extension and research personnel
within the LSU AgCenter.
Jinggang holds a Ph.D. in Economics from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences.
After his graduation, he moved to the University of Wisconsin, Madison as a postdoc.
His main role was to help U.S. Forest Service develop a new global forest products
trade model to predict future markets as they relate to alternative socioeconomic
trends.
