Optimal Spatial-Dynamic Management of Groundwater Conservation and Surface Water Quality with On-Farm Reservoirs

Kovacs, Kent F.; Wailes, Eric; West, Grant; Popp, Jennie; … - In: Journal of Agricultural and Applied Economics 46 (2014) 04

We examine how much on-farm reservoirs can increase groundwater quantity and improve surface water quality using a spatial-dynamic model of farm profit maximization in the Arkansas Delta. Sensitivity analysis of the farm profit objective by including the value of surface water quality and the...

The environmental Kuznets curve in a public spending model of economic growth

Diallo, Ibrahima Amadou - Volkswirtschaftliche Fakultät, … - 2014

This paper theoretically analyzes the dynamics of economic growth and the environmental Kuznets curve. This curve states an inverse U-relationship between pollution and income. The presented model specifically shows how a dynamic environmental Kuznets curve can emerge by introducing pollution...

Dynamic economic modelling of crop rotation with adaptation practices

Liu, Xing; Lehtonen, Heikki; Purola, Tuomo; Pavlova, Yulia - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2014

We developed a dynamic farm level economic model of crop rotations including nitrogen fertilization, fungicide treatment and liming as adaption practices. Simulations were run at different price and disease scenarios over 30 years. Farmer maximizes present discounted value of futures stream of...

The Chinese Urban-rural Dual Economic Structure Model and Analysis

XU, Xiuchuan; SHI, Shengping; HUANG, Qinghua - In: Asian Agricultural Research 06 (2014) 01

Based on the characteristics of urban-rural dual economic structure in China, we build a dynamic endogenous urban-rural dual economic model closely linked to China's reality, and carry out mathematical economics analysis of optimized conditions for urban and rural sectors. The main results show...

Cost Optimal Joint Management of Interdependent Resources: Groundwater vs. Kiawe (Prosopis pallida)

Burnett, Kimberly; Roumasset, James; Wada, Christopher - University of Hawai'i Economic Research Organization … - 2014

Local and global changes continue to influence interactions between groundwater and terrestrial ecosystems. Changes in precipitation, surface water, and land cover can affect the water balance of a given watershed, and thus affect both the quantity and quality of freshwater entering the ground....

When Ignorance Is Not Bliss: Pest Control Decisions Involving Beneficial Insects

Grogan, Kelly A. - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2013

Recent survey data revealed that many California citrus growers did not know whether or not important beneficial insects were found on their fields while other growers were relying heavily or even entirely on these insects for pest control. Some pesticides are toxic both to the targeted pest and...

Energy Costs and the Optimal Use of Groundwater

Roumasset, James; Wada, Christopher - Agricultural and Applied Economics Association - AAEA - 2013

To meet the growing demand for freshwater, many regions have increased pumping of groundwater in recent years, resulting in declining groundwater levels worldwide. A promising development is technical change regarding groundwater substitutes such as desalination and wastewater recycling....
