本文比较了1995年和1998年进行的两项研究，审查了在美国认证的木材产品商人的看法和活动。两项研究中的受访者之间有很多相似之处。例如，在这两个时期，受访者支付更多的认证木材产品相对于非认证版本，并收到低得多的溢价，如果有的话，他们的认证产品提供。1998年，86%的受访者预计其认证产品的销售量将增加，而1995年这一比例为63.4%。预计销售额将下降的受访者比例从1995年的13.1%下降到1998年的5%。
This paper compares two studies conducted in 1995 and 1998 that examined perceptions and activities of certified wood products merchants in the United States. There was much similarity between respondents in both studies. For example, in both time periods, respondents paid more for certified wood products relative to the non-certified version and received a much lower premium, if any, for their certified product offering. Eighty-six percent of respondents in 1998 expected their certified products sales to increase compared to 63.4 percent of respondents in 1995. The percentage ofrespondents that expected sales to decline dropped from 13.1 percent in 1995 to 5 percent in 1998.
