We discuss the contributions and potential contributions of M.R. Pressler’s paper “Aus der Holzzuwachs - lehre (zweiter Artikel)” published in Allgemeine Forstund Jagd-Zeitung (1860). After a partial review of the Pressler Indicator Rate Formula contributions to capital analysis, dynamic analysis, stochastic stumpage price models and multiple product classes and price premia for products, we conclude that the Pressler Indicator Rate Formula has been underrated in the past and has the potential to be underrated in the future. We also note that the greatest future contribution of the Pressler Indicator Rate Formula may be through closer analysis of the qualitative increment.
