Water scarcity and agricultural growth in Spain: from curse to blessing?
Cazcarro, Ignacio; Duarte, Rosa; Martín-Retortillo, Miguel - Asociación Española de Historia Económica - AEHE - 2014
This working paper discusses how natural resource scarcity (aridity, in the case of Spanish agriculture) encouraged the process of frontier expansion defined by Barbier, meaning the exploitation of new, relatively abundant resources (water) for production purposes. Water for irrigated...

Minimum Cost Feeding of Dairy Cows in Northern Victoria
Griffith, Marnie - Centre of Policy Studies and Impact Project (COPS), … - 2010
A new era of water scarcity has changed past patterns of feeding dairy cows in northern Victoria. This paper derives a model for estimating least-cost feeding of dairy cows under a range of assumptions regarding prices for irrigation water, hay and feed grain. The cost-minimisation is subject to...
