heal.abstract	The Greek aggregate import demand for fuelwood, unprocessed timber, processed timber and, timber-for-layers during 1971-1995 is empirically analysed using a flexible CBS model. Policy implications are derived based on the examination of standard measures such as price, expenditure and, substitution elasticities over time. Imports of unprocessed and processed timber are found to be price-inelastic, in contrast to fuelwood and timber-for-layers imports. Fuelwood imports are found to be expenditure-elastic while timber imports are expenditure-inelastic. Substitution possibilities initiated by changes in the import price of unprocessed or processed timber, appear to increase in the early 1990s.	en
