Optimal Management of a Hawaiian Coastal Aquifer with Near-Shore Marine Ecological Interactions
Duarte, Thomas Kaeo; Pongkijvorasi, Sittidaj; … - Department of Economics, University of Hawaii-Manoa - 2010
We optimize groundwater management in the presence of marine consequences of submarine groundwater discharge (SGD). Concern for marine biota increases the optimal steady-state head level of the aquifer. The model is discussed in general terms for any coastal groundwater resource where SGD has a...

Forward looking dynamics in spatial CGE modelling
Bröcker, Johannes; Korzhenevych, Artem - 2011
This paper sets up a multiregional dynamic framework by combining the optimal savings model with investment adjustment costs and the spatially disaggregated model with Dixit-Stiglitz structure in the modern sector. Because of increasing product diversity on the dynamic equilibrium path, the...

The Economic Impact of the South-North Water Transfer Project in China : A Computable General Equilibrium Analysis
Berrittella, Maria - 2007
Water resources are unevenly spread in China. Especially the basins of the Yellow, Hui and Hai rivers in the North are rather dry. To increase the supply of water in these basins, the South-to-North Water Transfer project (SNWT) was launched. Using a computable general equilibrium model this...
