Donaghy, Peter; Rolfe, John; Gowen, Rebecca; Bray, Steven; … - 2010

to sequester large quantities of emissions through changed land use management such as agroforestry. Whilst there is an … extensive amount of agroforestry literature, little has been written on the economic consequences of adopting silvopastoral … systems in northern Australia. This paper reports the economic feasibility of adopting complimentary agroforestry systems in …

Public values for improved water security for domestic and environmental use

Windle, Jill; Rolfe, John; Brouwer, Roy - Crawford School of Public Policy, Australian National … - 2009

Metrics for evaluating environmental trade-offs can be developed with varying levels of consistency across case study sites. A key issue is whether standard evaluation experiments can be conducted over multiple sites, or whether experiments have to be tailored to each case study application. To...

Assessing the incentives needed to improve riparian management in grazing systems: Comparing experimental auctions and choice modelling approaches

Rolfe, John; Windle, Jill; Reeson, Andrew; Whitten, … - Australian Agricultural and Resource Economics Society … - 2006

The Fitzroy basin in central Queensland is the largest basin in the Great Barrier Reef catchment area. The large quantities of sediment and nutrient export are of concern and come predominantly from diffuse sources in the grazing industry. The focus of the research reported in this paper was on...

Using Choice Modelling to establish the supply of riparian services and the potential for a water quality trading scheme in Central Queensland

Windle, Jill; Rolfe, John; Whitten, Stuart M.; Alam, … - Australian Agricultural and Resource Economics Society … - 2005

The potential supply of water quality mitigation actions from diffuse sources is difficult to assess, although important for designing policies to encourage such actions. In this paper the design and results of a Choice Modelling(CM) valuation to assess the potential supply of rural mitigation...

Public values for improved water security for domestic and environmental use

Windle, Jill; Rolfe, John; Brouwer, Roy - Australian Agricultural and Resource Economics Society … - 2009

A choice modelling valuation exercise was recently undertaken across several countries to assess the tradeoffs that households are prepared to make between water use restrictions, maintaining environmental condition in waterways, and increased water costs. The results from the Queensland survey...

Stated values and reminders of substitute goods: Testing for framing effects with choice modelling

Rolfe, John; Bennett, Jeffrey W.; Louviere, Jordan - In: Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics 46 (2002) 1

Choice modelling, a non‐market valuation technique, is used to explore framing issues in the context of environmental valuations. Choice modelling appears to have promise in simultaneously valuing a pool of substitute amenities and goods. Describing choices according to component attributes...

Valuing options for reserve water in the Fitzroy Basin

Rolfe, John; Windle, Jill - In: Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics 49 (2005) 1

Option values may be an important component of non-use values when development options for environmental assets are considered. These are values that the community might hold for maintaining options to make future choices about allocating resources. However, option values are very difficult to...

Testing for differences in benefit transfer values between state and regional frameworks

Rolfe, John; Windle, Jill - In: Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics 52 (2008) 2

Policy makers are often interested in transferring non-market estimates of environmental values from a ‘source’ study to predict economic values at a ‘target’ site. While most applications of the benefit transfer process involve an opportunistic search for suitable source studies, there...

Valuing remnant vegetation in Central Queensland using choice modelling

Blamey, Russell K.; Rolfe, John; Bennett, Jeffrey W.; … - In: Australian Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics 44 (2000) 3

In the Desert Uplands region of Central Queensland, many pastoralists are clearing vegetation in order to improve cattle grazing production. A choice modelling study was undertaken to provide estimates of the benefits of retaining remnant vegetation that are appropriate for inclusion in a cost...
