T he changing climate and concerns over food security are prompting a new look at the supply chain reliability of products derived from agriculture, and the potential role of contract farming as a mechanism to address climate and price risk while contributing toward crop diversification and water use efficiency is also emerging. In this study, the decision problem of a farmer associated with al...

This study considers water use by Canadian manufacturing firms. The estimation of water demands is based on a detailed crosssectional survey of establishment-level observations on water prices, quantities, and expenditures. Industrial water use is modeled as having four components: intake, treatment prior to use, recirculation, and discharge. Average values for the estimated own-price elasticit...

This paper estimates farmers' individual irrigation water demand functions employing the information hidden in individual farmers' technical efficiency. This information is extracted through the development of a new deductive methodology based on inverse Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) models. The empirical results for Tunisia show that farmers who are more technically efficient have less elast...

This paper estimates a model of residential electricity demand to project the impact of proposed tariff changes on a representative sample of 130 Barbadian households. The results from the demand function suggest that the price elasticities of demand for particular appliances varied significantly, with households that utilize solar water heating being more price elastic than households that use...

Iran is a large producer of agricultural products. Irrigation water resources are limited and the water use efficiency is low. The micro irrigation system (MIS) is a versatile management tool that can increase water productivity. Although micro irrigation has a lot of advantages, some of its disadvantages are its difficult and time-consuming design. Economical analysis of the design is one of t...

Water and fertilizer applications management should be improved due to scarce resources and environmental protection aspects. An analysis of crop yield production and profit maximization was conducted to determine the optimal water and nitrogen allocation. In this study, maize grain yields were predicted for 25 different amounts of irrigation water (350-1700 mm) and 46 different rates of nitrog...

arid and desert lands in terms of specific environmental characteristics such as low annual precipitation,sequential droughts, huge drop in ground water levels or the like, have always faced strict limitations in waterresources. in the shadow of these characteristics and many other factors, water price index (wpi) is significantlyaffected. this study set out with the aim of identifying and dete...

Rather than allowing urban water prices to reflect scarcity rents during periods of drought-induced excess demand, policy makers have mandated command-and-control approaches, primarily rationing the use of ...
