Abstract:

With the financial crisis happened, the growth of China's forest products export became very slow. This paper pointed out some defaults in the traditional constant market share (CMS) model, and put forward to the adjusted CMS model that can solve these defaults. Then it used the adjusted CMS model to analysis the interior mechanism on how the financial crisis affected China's forest products export. The conclusions indicated that the declined demand for forest products all over the world was the main cause of the very slow growth of China's forest products export. In addition, the change of products structure and market distribution also played roles to some extent.

Key words: financial crisis, China's export of forest products, effects and mechanism, adjusted constant market share (CMS) model
