  • Sustained yield, as developed in Europe in the nineteenth century, was based on the concept of ‘normality’. It is believed that this concept originated in Austria in 1788 and it was certainly used by Faustmann when devising his famous formula published in 1849. See the Introduction by M. Gane in Martin Faustmann and the Evolution of Discounted Cash Flow, Commonwealth Forestry Institute Paper No. 42, Oxford (1968). Schlich’s Manual of Forestry, vol III, 3rd edition (1905), provides a detailed description in chaps 3 to 7.
