Modelling Sectorally Differentiated Water Prices - Water Preservation and Welfare Gains Through Price Reform?

Commercial Tanker Water Demand in Amman, Jordan—A Spatial Simulation Model of Water Consumption Decisions under Intermittent Network Supply

“…Notwithstanding the constraints discussed above, we have developed a model with a high degree of spatial differentiation that has produced the first estimate of the water consumption of the commercial sector in Amman and shed some light on how the tanker water market functions. While other approaches from the economic theory, notably general equilibrium models, are increasingly addressing issues such as water scarcity and supply intermittency (e.g., [38,39]), we have provided an example of how agent-based modeling can be used to improve our understanding of behavior in complex water supply systems shaped by a variety of small-scale providers.…”

Water competition through the ‘water-energy’ nexus: Assessing the economic impacts of climate change in a Mediterranean context

“…water pricing systems (Cardenete and Hewings, 2011;Luckmann et al, 2016;Rivers and Groves, 2013;Zhao et al, 2016); water-related taxes and subsidies (Berrittella et al, 2008;Cazcarro et al, 2011;Qin et al, 2012;Zhong et al, 2017); water use efficiency improvements (Calzadilla et al, 2011;Liu et al, 2017); public investments in the water sector (Llop and Ponce-Alifonso, 2012;Luckmann et al, 2014); introduction of water markets (Berrittella et al, 2007;Hassan and Thurlow, 2011;Solís and Zhu, 2015;Tirado et al, 2010); and sectoral reallocation of water resources (Juana et al, 2011;Seung et al, 2000).…”

“…In water-oriented CGE models, a distinction may be made between raw water resources extracted from the environment, usually considered a factor of production for some sectors, and distributed water, which is provided by the drinking water distribution and supply sector as an intermediate input for economic activities and as a final consumption good for households. Water enters as a factor of production in the agricultural sector (Hassan and Thurlow, 2011), in the agricultural and water supply sectors (Berrittella et al, 2007;Watson and Davies, 2011) or, alternatively, in all economic sectors (Faust et al, 2015;Koopman et al, 2017;Luckmann et al, 2016;Roson and Damania, 2017). Few water-oriented CGE analyses only consider water as an intermediate input provided by the distribution and supply sectors (Llop and Ponce-Alifonso, 2012;Zhao et al, 2016).…”

“…This may be explained by the argument that the value of land is, not only, determined by the soil characteristics but, also, by the water that can be extracted from it and, hence, an implicit water rent can be derived from the total land rent (Calzadilla et al, 2016). This is the modelling structure applied by different authors, such as Calzadilla et al, 2014Calzadilla et al, , 2013aCalzadilla et al, , 2013bCalzadilla et al, , 2010Koopman et al, 2017;Liu et al, 2017;Luckmann et al, 2016. The land-water aggregation is mostly associated with the agricultural sector, as this is one of the largest water consumers in the economy (examples of analyses focused on agriculture include Calzadilla et al, 2014Calzadilla et al, , 2013bRoson and Sartori, 2015).…”

Using Water Allocation in Israel as a Proxy for Imputing the Value of Agricultural Amenities

“…None, however, use CGE models to elicit the value of agricultural amenities. Luckmann et al (2016Luckmann et al ( , 2014 and Baum et al (2016) are recent examples of waterfocused CGE models that focus on Israel. They develop a highly detailed breakdown of water types, production sectors, and households, and simulate counterfactual sce-narios that include drastic reductions in Israel's water supply, an increase in desalinated water, and alternative water pricing.…”
