Integrating water resources into computable general equilibrium models: A survey
Ponce, Roberto; Bosello, Francesco; Giupponi, Carlo - 2012
Water resources are facing several stresses in terms of quantity and quality. These pressures are closely related to the human interventions in fields like: agriculture, land-use/land use change, construction/management of reservoirs, pollutant emissions, and water /wastewater treatment, among...

The economic impact of the South-North water transfer project in China: A computable general equilibrium analysis
Berrittella, Maria; Rehdanz, Katrin; Tol, Richard S. J. - 2006
Water resources are unevenly spread in China. Especially the basins of the Yellow, Hui and Hai rivers in the North are rather dry. To increase the supply of water in these basins, the South-to-North Water Transfer project (SNWT) was launched. Using a computable general equilibrium model this...

Estimating global damages from sea level rise with the Coastal Impact and Adaptation Model (CIAM)
Diaz, Delavane B. - 2015
The costs of coastal sector impacts from sea level rise (SLR) are an important component of the total projected economic damages of climate change, a major input to decision-making and design of climate policy. Moreover, the ultimate costs to coastal resources will depend strongly on adaptation,...
