Controlling excess capacity in common-pool resource industries: the transition from input to output controls

Squires, Dale; Jeon, Yongil; Grafton, R. Quentin; … - In: Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics 54 (2010) 3

Overcapacity is a major problem in common-pool resources. Regulators increasingly turn from limited entry to individual transferable use rights to address overcapacity. Using individual vessel data from before and after the introduction of individual harvest rights into a fishery, the paper...

Using choice experiments to value catchment and estuary health in Tasmania with individual preference heterogeneity

Kragt, Marit Ellen; Bennett, Jeffrey W. - In: Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics 55 (2011) 2

Choice experiments (CE) have become widespread as an approach to environmental valuation in both Australia and overseas. However, there are few valuation studies that have addressed natural resource management (NRM) changes in Tasmania. Furthermore, few studies have focussed on the estimation of...

An empirical assessment of the value of irrigation water: the case study of Murrumbidgee catchment

Ejaz Qureshi, Muhammad; Ranjan, Ram; Ejaz Qureshi, Sumaira - In: Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics 54 (2010) 1

Evaluation of value of irrigation water is essential for supporting policy decision making relating to investments in the irrigation sector, efficient allocation of irrigation water and water pricing and for crafting policies to compare the variable impacts of water reform within and across...

A water balance model is used to predict reduced basin inflows for mild … on irrigated agricultural production and profitability are estimated with a mathematical programming model using a two …-stage approach that simultaneously estimates short and long-run adjustments. The model accounts for a range of adaptive responses …

Deregulation of wholesale petrol prices: what happened to capital city petrol prices?

Davey, Alistair - In: Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics 54 (2010) 1

Wholesale petrol prices were deregulated in August 1998. This paper will quantify the effect associated with the deregulation of wholesale petrol prices on relative retail prices for unleaded petrol in Adelaide, Melbourne and Sydney. This is done through Box–Jenkins autoregressive integrated...

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 used to identify community willingness to trade-off attributes for two different types of stream in New Zealand. Estimated utility functions are used to derive marginal rates of...

Modelling hydroclimatic uncertainty and short-run irrigator decision making: the Goulburn system

Griffith, Marnie; Codner, Gary; Weinmann, Erwin; … - In: Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics 53 (2009) 4

Australia has an incredibly variable and unpredictable hydroclimate, and while irrigation is designed to reduce risk, significant uncertainty remains in both seasonal water availability (‘allocations’) and irrigation crop water requirements. This paper explores the nature and impacts of...

Conflicting uses of marine resources: can ITQs promote an efficient solution?

Arnason, Ragnar - In: Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics 53 (2009) 1

This paper examines the allocation problem arising from conflicting demands for marine resource use by (i) commercial fishers, (ii) recreational fishers, and (iii) conservationists. It is shown that decentralised trading of individual transferable quotas (ITQs) is capable of an efficient...
