description The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects that would have an exogenous demand shockof forestry sub-sectors (silviculture, timber, pulp and paper, and furniture) on the economic activity,wages, incomes and the environment of the Biobío Region, Chile. For this purpose, was used an EnvironmentalExtended Social Accounting Matrix for Biobío with base year 2006 which allowed simulatingimpacts of changes in final demand with a sectorial economic model. The results show that eachforestry sub-sector generates different contributions to the economic development of the Biobío region,specifically the timber industry has the highest share of GDP and is the greatest consumer of inputsfrom other sectors for their high backward linkage, silviculture is a strategic sector for its raw materialsupply, the pulp industry generates greater impact on wages and high pollutant emissions, and furnituremanufacturing generates lower pollutant emissions.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects that would have an exogenous demand shockof forestry sub-sectors (silviculture, timber, pulp and paper, and furniture) on the economic activity,wages, incomes and the environment of the Biobío Region, Chile.

El objetivo del presente estudio fue evaluar los efectos que tendría un shock exógeno dedemanda sobre cada subsector forestal (silvicultura, madera, celulosa y papel y muebles) sobre laactividad económica, remuneraciones, ingreso y medioambiente de la región del Biobío, Chile. Paraello se utilizó una Matriz de Contabilidad Social Extendida Ambientalmente para Biobío con año base2006 que permitió simular impactos de variaciones en la demanda final con un modelo económicointersectorial. Los resultados permiten concluir que cada subsector forestal genera diferentes contribucionesal desarrollo económico de la región del Biobío. Específicamente, la industria de la maderapresenta la más alta participación en el PIB y es la mayor demandante de insumos de otros sectorespor su alto encadenamiento hacia atrás, la silvicultura es un sector estratégico, la industria de la celulosagenera mayores efectos en las remuneraciones y altas emisiones contaminantes y la fabricaciónde muebles genera las menores emisiones contaminantes.
