The Halo Effect: A Widened Perspective on the Relationship between Forestry and the Rural Economy

Summary/Abstract: This article reviews the development of interest in the relationship between forestry and rural development in developed countries and, using evidence from recent research in Europe, suggests a need for a widening of the methods by which economic impacts are investigated. This need for a widening of the approaches to economic appraisal of impacts stems from the profound halo effects evident in the UK case studies, which circumstantial evidence suggests are likely to be replicated in the more developed and densely populated parts of Europe.
