Disclosure & Purpose
Our Purpose
Forest Economic Advisors (FEA) is dedicated to providing independent, reliable analysis for the wood products and timber sectors. Building on its long history of benchmarking reports that provide insight into regional and global competitiveness, FEA’s PricePulse report is based on actual pricing and other market information FEA collects from market participants. Despite the procompetitive benefits that PricePulse provides to the industry—including increased price transparency—FEA recognizes the sensitivity of the data it collects, and therefore antitrust compliance and competition principles are fully integrated into FEA’s methodology for preparing this report. As described in the PricePulse Methodology, FEA aggregates and anonymizes the data it collects to create the zone weighted-average prices for a wide range of products in the wood products and timber sectors that are included herein in a manner that makes it impossible to determine the individual pricing of any specific market participant. PricePulse is designed to be a highly accurate pricing report with minimal to no potential for manipulation or anticompetitive impacts. PricePulse is available for purchase by everyone, and brings both greater clarity and increased competitive potential to the wood products and timber sectors.
