For more than 40 years, Economist Ernie Niemi has investigated and described the relationship between the natural environment and local economies, in Oregon and elsewhere.
Niemi, President of Natural Resource Economics, spoke before North Coast Communities for Watershed Protection recently about some of the economics of logging in Oregon. He discussed logging profits, taxes, jobs, wages, and economic impacts on local areas. What follows is a recording of that talk, edited for time.
On the next Story Told, a double feature between Dan Armstrong's "The Third World War," and Dr. Robert Brake's "Stupidity Run Amok."
Hosted by Chris Breitmeyer.
