description The objective of the present study is to evaluate, from an economic and environmental perspective, the impacts of the use of a forest plantation subsidy on economic sectors of the Biobío Region, Chile. The Leontief price model is used to simulate the impacts on sectoral prices, consumption, fiscal expenditure, price index and emissions. The results show that if the subsidy that expired in 2012 was renewed in Chile, prices in the forestry sector would be reduced by 11,74%, while prices in related sectors such as wood and furniture, agriculture, and cellulose and paper, would present reductions of 0,94%, 0,54% and 0,42%, respectively. This would stimulate the production of the forestry sector favoring the capture of emissions of greenhouse gases. In addition, due to the productive linkage, the contribution of the subsidy to the total production of all sectors would be equivalent to 0,11% of regional GDP, based on fiscal expenditure of 0,03% of regional GDP.

El objetivo del presente estudio es evaluar, desde una perspectiva económica y ambiental, los impactos de la aplicación de un subsidio a la plantación forestal sobre los sectores económicos de la región del Biobío, Chile. Para ello se utiliza el modelo de precios de Leontief que permite simular impactos sobre los precios sectoriales, consumo, gasto fiscal, índice de precios y emisiones. Los resultados muestran que si se renueva el subsidio que estuvo vigente hasta el año 2012 en Chile, los precios en el sector silvícola se reducirían en 11,74%, mientras que los precios de sectores relacionados como madera y muebles, agropecuario y celulosa y papel presentarían reducciones de 0,94%, 0,54% 0,42%, respectivamente. Lo anterior estimularía la producción del sector silvícola favoreciendo la captura de emisiones de gases de efecto invernadero. Además, debido al encadenamiento productivo, la contribución del subsidio al total de la producción de todos los sectores equivaldría a 0,11% del PIB regional, a partir de un gasto fiscal de 0,03% del PIB regional.
