Assessing potential efficiency gains in irrigated water use in New Zealand.

Ford, Stuart; Harris, Simon; Doak, Murray - Australian Agricultural and Resource Economics Society … - 2009

This paper reports a research project carried out on behalf of the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry New Zealand designed to scope the issue of water efficiency in New Zealand and demonstrate where the most significant gains in efficiency can occur. The paper describes the efficiency...

Evaluating off-site environmental mitigation using choice modelling

Kerr, Geoffrey N.; Sharp, Basil M.H. - Australian Agricultural and Resource Economics Society …

Evaluation of off-site mitigation entails comparison of utility changes between two sites. Choice modelling has been … design or evaluate both on-site and off-site mitigation policy. Latent class multinomial logit models identified classes of … stream types imply heterogeneous mitigation ratios across environmental attributes. …

Towards Design For a Nutrient Trading Programme to Improve Water Quality in Lake Rotorua

Kerr, Suzi; Lauder, Glen; Fairman, David - Australian Agricultural and Resource Economics Society … - 2007

This paper explores how to enhance the role for academic research (natural sciences, economics and their integration; and stakeholder management) within the development and implementation of water quality policy in New Zealand. Our focus is on the use of market based instruments and particularly...

Emissions Trading and the Convergence of the Australian Electricity and Transport Markets

Reedman, Luke J.; Graham, Paul W. - Australian Agricultural and Resource Economics Society … - 2008

Bottom up partial equilibrium modelling of the energy sector has tended to focus on the electricity sector given its typically large share of total emissions, the deregulation of that market in many countries and the relatively well understood technology options. In contrast, this paper employs...

Fiddling while carbon burns: why climate policy needs emission pervasive pricing as well as technology promotion

Pezzey, John C.V.; Jotzo, Frank; Quiggin, John C. - Australian Agricultural and Resource Economics Society … - 2007

Effective climate policy requires global emissions of greenhouse gases to be cut substantially, which in energy sectors can be achieved by lower emissions supply technologies, greater energy use efficiency, and substitution in demand. For policy to be efficient requires fairly uniform, pervasive...

The role of real options analysis in the design of a greenhouse gas emissions trading scheme

Lambie, N. Ross - Australian Agricultural and Resource Economics Society … - 2009

Analysing the effect of a greenhouse gas emissions trading scheme (ETS) on energy-intensive industries using a simple model of the long-run equilibrium fails to fully capture the design implications of a scheme. When we allow for imperfect market structures and uncertainty, it is more useful to...

Grandfathering and greenhouse: the role of compensation and adjustment assistance in the introduction of a carbon emissions trading scheme for Australia

Menezes, Flavio; Quiggin, John C.; Wagner, Liam - Australian Agricultural and Resource Economics Society … - 2009

The terms ‘grandfather clause’ and ‘grandfathering’ describe elements of a policy program in which existing participants in an activity are protected from the impact of regulations, restrictions or charges applied to new entrants. In this paper, the role of grandfathering in the design...
