To date, the regional economics literature has neglected to combine a county-level dynamic computable general equilibrium (CGE) model with a recreation demand model to analyze the temporal e¨ects of reallocating water from agriculture to recreational use. This study begins to address this weakness in the literature by considering water reallocation issues in rural Nevada. By combining a recreation demand model with a CGE model, this study analyzes the policy e¨ects on both the agricultural sectors and the recreation-related sectors. Model results show that the increase in non-agricultural output does not o¨set the reduction in agricultural output due to water withdrawal.

“…The water pollution content of the effluent is provided by four measures: biological oxygen demand, chemical oxygen demand, dissolved solids, and suspended solids. Berck et al (1991) provide an overview of the use of CGE models to assess water regulation which becomes an increasingly important policy issue in drier regions. A major modeling challenge concerns the appropriate representation of water supply and demand (Hertel, 1999).…”

Accomplishing one objective frequently means backpedaling on another.The quantification of trade-offs calls for the use of numerical model techniques in order to assess systematically and rigorously the interference of the many forces that interact in the economy thereby affecting potential Sustainable Development indicators.In general, there is no specific model, which fits all requirements for comprehensive Sustainability Impact Assessment, but rather a package of models (or methods) depending on the policy measure or issue to be assessed and the availability of data. However, when it comes to providing a flexible backbone tool for Sustainability Impact Assessment, the current paper tries to make a good case for the use of computable general equilibrium (CGE) models.
