The Global Forest Products Model (GFPM) is an economic model of production, consumption, and trade in forest products at the global level. It was developed as part of FAO's on-going work on forestry sector outlook studies. The GFPM is one of a series of spatial equilibrium forest sector models that have developed from the work of Gilless and Buongiorno (1987). Other international applications of the same modelling framework include ITTO (1993, 1995), FAO (1997), and Zhang et al. (1997).
