Irrigation management transfer is an important strategy among donors and governments to strengthen farmer control over … water and irrigation infrastructure. This study seeks to understand whether irrigation management transfer is meeting the … Philippines to estimate the impact of irrigation management transfer on irrigation association performance and on rice yields …

Previous Ricardian analyses of agriculture have either omitted irrigation or treated irrigation as though it is … exogenous. In practice, it is a choice by farmers that is sensitive to climate. This paper develops a choice model of irrigation … in the context of a Ricardian model of cropland. The authors examine how climate affects the decision to use irrigation …

This paper estimates a model of a farm that treats the choice of crops, livestock, and irrigation as endogenous. The … model is composed of a multinomial choice of farm type, a binomial choice of irrigation, and a set of conditional land value … adapt their choice of farm type and irrigation to their local climate. The results should help governments develop effective …
