Energy in a bathtub: Electricity trade between countries with different generation technologies
Førsund, Finn R. - 2009
Many countries have followed a policy of being self-sufficient in electricity. However, in the last two decades exchange of electricity across borders has become more widespread, and the European Union's policy is to encourage a gradual expansion of cross-border trading and integration of...

Agriculture, Water Resources and Water Policies in Italy
Massarutto, Antonio - 1999
This paper provides an overview of the Italian water management system, with particular reference to the links between agriculture and water resources, and emphasis on underground resources. Our objective is mainly descriptive at this level; nonetheless, we try to evaluate patterns of...

Water scarcity and the impact of improved irrigation management: a CGE analysis
Calzadilla, Alvaro; Rehdanz, Katrin; Tol, Richard S. J. - 2008
We use the new version of the GTAP-W model to analyze the economy-wide impacts of enhanced irrigation efficiency. The new production structure of the model, which introduces a differentiation between rainfed and irrigated crops, allows a better understanding of the use of water resources in...

The GTAP-W model: Accounting for water use in agriculture
Calzadilla, Alvaro; Rehdanz, Katrin; Tol, Richard S.J. - 2011
Water and agriculture are intrinsically linked. Water is essential for crop production and agriculture is the largest consumer of freshwater resources. However, this link is commonly ignored by economic models mainly because water use is not reported in the national economic accounts. Few...
