Analysis of wood market - An example of comparison of the Czech Republic and the confederate states Saxony and Baden-Württemberg (Germany)

The thesis deals with the analysis and description of the development of the wood market between Czech Republic, Saxony and Baden-Wuerttemberg. For the reference period 2004 to 2011 the harvested volumes and the obtained prices for the main assortments and quality grades were considered. For a better overview of the analysis only the main tree species were used. Spruce (Picea abies), pine (Pinus sylvestris), oak (Quercus spec.) and beech (Fagus sylvatica). Further, it was analysed how the prices and volumes of the wood assortments developed over the years and which parameters could have an influence on that. Also the development of the import and export between Germany and Czech Republic was observed and as a closure the price indices of the three states (Czech Republic, Saxony, Baden-Wuerttemberg) for raw wood were calculated and finally analysed
