In this study, economic implications of allocating surface water with the existing policy (seniority rule) and three other alternative (People First, proportional reduction, and trading) policies are investigated to address potential water scarcities in the Bow River Sub Basin (BRSB) of Southern...

We analyze the implications of switching from existing seniority-based allocations to proportional water sharing policies in times of water shortage in the Bow River Sub-Basin in Southern Alberta. In particular, we simulate three variations of the proportional water sharing concept: (1)...

Water quality management under the watershed approach of Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) programs requires that water quality standards be maintained throughout the year. The main purpose of this research was to develop a methodology that incorporates inter-temporal variations in stream...

Enrollment levels are often considered as one of the success indicators of college programs. To design a focused and targeted incentive program for attracting students, enrollment managers need information on specific external factors that affect college choices. This paper asks whether income,...
