The aim of this paper is to research the establishment of Chinese rural drinking water market. On the basis of prior research on rural drinking water and water market, we study the market establishment and analyze trading elements, procedure and modes of Chinese rural drinking water market. Then we explore the operating mechanism of the market, such as the supply and demand mechanism, the price...

the scarcity of water resources and supply resources limitation, have caused an increasing gap between water supply and demand specially in recent decades in almost all regions of the globe. one of the best known solutions proposed by the economists is using the different water pricing approaches thereby obtaining the optimal allocation and social justice. to this purpose, this paper uses the p...

ABSTRACT- The aim of this study is economic analysis of supplemental irrigation (SI) for rain-fed fig trees in the south of Iran, with and without micro-catchment water harvesting systems (MCWHS). Under no MCWHS, by decreasing about 55 % of applied water, the fig yield decreased about 28% and net income increased twice compared with the maximum yield condition. In general, the ...

This paper is a quantitatively-oriented theoretical study into the interaction between housing prices, aggregate production, and household behaviour over a lifetime. We develop an overlapping generations model of a production economy in which land and capital are combined into residential and commercial structures. We …nd that, in the economy where land is more important for structures, the hou...

In the literature, the study of price subsidies of new technologies has focused on the tactical problem of achieving maximum penetration under a budget constraint over a short horizon. In practice, such tactical, short-termpenetration objectives seemboth to adequately reflect the structure ofmany price subsidy programs (e.g., solar energy), and account for their high failure rate. The present p...

It is suggested that instead of attempting to adjust the consumer price index (CPI) after tax reform it is better to measure changes in after-tax income.

Many government contracts with or policies towards oligopolistic sectors essentially involve private firms selling a given proportion (O), or quantity, of output to the government at a fixed price (pR) with the remainder being sold on the open-market. Often this is combined with consumer rationing. Examples include cement and sugar in India, and health, housing and defence in many countries. Th...

This note describes probabilistic properties of optimal price sample paths in a dynamic pricing model with a finite horizon and limited stock. We assume that customer arrivals follow a nonhomogeneous Poisson process. We show that if customers’ willingness-to-pay increases rapidly over time, then the optimal price process follows a submartingale, which implies an upward price trend. Alternativel...
