摘要

自1962年至1987年期間的台灣七種木材價格以及美國四種木材價格，加以比較其實質木材價格變動情形。發現四種美國木材價格（包括s.pine, ash, gums，及oaks）漲幅比台灣四種省產木材（即扁柏、紅檜、鐵杉、及柯椎）為小，但台灣進口柳安木材價格變動卻非常穩定，美國southern pine木材價格上漲趨勢率高達台灣杉木的7倍，可見台灣民間造林事業不如美國有利。平均每年木材實質價格上漲趨勢率愈大，其變異係數也會愈大。

The prices of seven kinds of logs in Taiwan and four kinds of logs in the U.S. between 1962 to 1987 were analysed and compared in terms of real price increase rate and their variation. It was found that the price of Taiwan yellow cypress and red cypress were increased much more than that of the four American logs, namely southern pine, ash, gums and oaks. The prices of Taiwan's hemlock, machilus and tan oak were increased at the same rate as that of the American southern pine. The price of imported lunan was very stable during the period. Annual increase rate of price trend for southern pine in the U.S. was 1.4%, which was 7 times higher than that of the China fir in Taiwan. The higher the annual increase rate of price trend, the larger the coefficient of variation of the price.
