On the economics of virtual water trade

Virtual water trade is increasingly recognized as a useful metaphor for thinking about freshwater resources in an international context.

In this article I develop new theoretical results that place the virtual water concept on a firm economic foundation, and which correct several misconceptions within the existing literature on virtual water economics.
