Greenhouse gases and Nutrients: The Interactions Between Concurrent New Zealand Trading Systems

Kerr, Suzi; Kennedy, Marianna - New Zealand Agricultural and Resource Economics Society … - 2008

Emissions trading and nutrient trading interact in critical ways. The agricultural sector is a major emitter of both nutrients and greenhouse gases in New Zealand. Thus the simultaneous implementation of such systems will have a large impact on the farmers in affected catchments. Many of the...

The likely regional impacts of an agricultural emissions policy in New Zealand: Preliminary analysis

Sin, Isabelle; Brunton, Emma; Hendy, Joanna; Kerr, Suzi - New Zealand Agricultural and Resource Economics Society … - 2005

Hendy and Kerr (2005b) find that an emissions charge on agricultural methane and nitrous oxide of $25 per tonne of carbon dioxide (CO2) equivalent would be likely to reduce New Zealand‘s net land-use related emissions for commitment period one in the order of 3%, with full accounting. The...

Synergies between Nutrient Trading Scheme and the New Zealand Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS) in the Lake Rotorua Catchment

Yeo, Boon-Ling; Anastasiadis, Simon; Kerr, Suzi; … - New Zealand Agricultural and Resource Economics Society … - 2012

The intensity of agricultural production affects both nutrient and greenhouse gas emissions. Environmental policy designed to reduce one type of pollution may have complementary effects on the other type. This paper explores this issue in the Lake Rotorua catchment in New Zealand using an...

Optimizing Voluntary Deforestation Policy in the Face of Adverse Selection and Costly Transfers

Benthem, Arthur A. van; Kerr, Suzi - New Zealand Agricultural and Resource Economics Society … - 2010

As part of international climate change policy, voluntary opt-in programs to reduce emissions in unregulated sectors or countries have spurred considerable discussion. Since any regulator will make errors in predicting baselines, adverse selection will reduce efficiency since participants will...

Greenhouse Gas Emission Factor Module: Land Use in Rural New Zealand—Climate Version 1

Hendy, Joanna; Kerr, Suzi - New Zealand Agricultural and Resource Economics Society … - 2005

Several different New Zealand economic models produce measures of rural economic activity that have greenhouse gas implications. For climate change analysis, models need to translate economic activity into greenhouse gas emissions. This document estimates functions and creates projections for...

Mitigation and Heterogeneity in Management Practices on New Zealand Dairy Farms

Anastasiadis, Simon; Kerr, Suzi - New Zealand Agricultural and Resource Economics Society … - 2012

We consider two approaches to quantify New Zealand farmers’ ability to mitigate their farm’s environmental impact: The construction of marginal abatement cost curves and improvements in farm management practices. Marginal abatement cost curves can be constructed by combining information on...
