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...

Demand for fish in Asia: a cross-country analysis
Dey, Madan Mohan; Garcia, Yolanda T.; Kumar, Praduman; … - In: Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics 52 (2008) 3
Fish demand patterns in nine Asian countries were investigated using a multistage budgeting framework allowing a disaggregated approach to analysing fish consumption. This paper highlights the heterogeneity of fisheries products in terms of species, sources and cultural responses of consumers,...
