Abstract

In the presented paper we have developed a new method of analysis of efficiency of regional forest complexes. Our method is based on the Data Envelopment Analysis methodology. It allows not only comparison of different regional forest complexes by their level of efficiency, but also produces specific recommendations for improving of “outsiders” forest sector activity. The method was successfully applied to the optimization of efficiency of Siberian forest complexes. The analysis showed that the higher efficiency corresponds to the regions with the richest stocks of forest resources: Krasnoyarsk Krai and Irkutsk Oblast. We determined the values of necessary changes in the input (resource expenditure) parameters to be implemented for improving the efficiency of the forest complexes of Siberian Federal District
