Agricultural production is heavily dependent on water availability in Turkey, where half the crop production relies on irrigation. Irrigated agriculture consumes about 75 percent of total water used, which is about 30 percent of renewable water availability. This study analyzes the likely...

This study investigates the effects of lobbying and institutions on the direction of technological change in a two-sector overlapping generations model. Simulation results suggest that in an environment with unbiased institutions producers' rent-seeking activities direct the economy towards a...

Groundwater resources (GW) account for nearly 30% of the world's sustainable water supplies. Yet, this resource, which is fraught with externalities, has largely been left unregulated. The economic literature on GW is predominantly of a partial equilibrium type. We analyze GW regulation in a...
