Irrigation water pricing between governmental policies and farmers’ perception: Implications for green-houses horticultural production in Teboulba (Tunisia)
Chebil, Ali; Frija, Aymen; Thabet, Chokri - In: Agricultural Economics Review 11 (2010) 2
A positive mathematical programming model was constructed in this study to assess the effect of three water pricing scenarios on Teboulba’s agricultural production systems. The effects of these scenarios were estimated for three groups of farmers from three irrigated districts. Results...

Estimating Urban Residential Water-Demand With Increasing Block Prices: The Case of Perth, Western Australia
Xayavong, Vilaphonh; Burton, Michael P.; White, Benedict - Australian Agricultural and Resource Economics Society … - 2008
This study uses panel data at suburb level to estimates the elasticity water demands in Perth, Australia from 1995 to 2005. After deriving the consumer’s water demand under a non-linear budget constraint, we estimate the water demand model, which accounts for how water (and other purchased...
