Water Demand Elasticities: Selection Effects in Meta-Analysis

Hoehn, John - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2014

. A random effects estimator is used to derive water demand elasticity estimates that are efficient and unbiased by … selection effects. The sample mean elasticity for reported elasticities is -.37%. Once publication bias is removed, the mean … elasticity estimate drops to -.08%. Indoor water demand is almost perfectly inelastic. Water demands and their elasticities are …

Estimating an Almost Ideal Demand System Model for Meats in Iran

Motallebi, Marzieh; Pendell, Dustin L. - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2013

This paper presents a dynamic form of the almost ideal demand system (AIDS). The static AIDS model was employed to determine long-run equilibrium model and represents the short-run dynamics by an error correction mechanism. This estimation procedure is applied to estimate three kinds of popular...

The Value of Water Rights in Agricultural Properties in the Phoenix Active Management Area

Yoo, James; Perrings, Charles; Kinzig, Ann; Abbott, … - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2012

This paper estimates the value of water rights in the Phoenix Active Management Area (AMA), Arizona. Within AMAs groundwater rights cannot be transferred separately from the agricultural land to which they apply. As a result there is no separate market for ground water rights. The lack of a...
