Abstract
Summary Employment coefficients are derived from New South Wales data as a replication of Greig's (1979) methodology for a different region and as an extension to cover a higher level of wood processing to account more fully for direct regional employment. The results indicate that a change of 10 000 cubic metres per year in the net volume of sawlogs will result in a long run change of 21 jobs in sawmilling and 3 to 4 jobs in forest management. It is noted that the employment coefficients are applicable only to marginal changes in the production of individual firms and are not directly applicable to marginal changes in regional production. Replication in different regions and time periods is needed to assess trends in coefficients with changes in technology and organisation.
