Economy-wide gains from decentralized water allocation in a spatially heterogenous agricultural economy.
A study was conducted to investigate the economy-wide gains that could be obtained in Morocco by allocating surface irrigation water to its most productive use and to assess a decentralized method for achieving this outcome in a spatially heterogeneous environment. Findings revealed that a decentra...

Findings revealed that a decentralized water trading mechanism could boost Morocco's agricultural output by 8.3 percent and influence the rental rates of other agricultural inputs at the national level. Results also demonstrated that such a mechanism could have economy-wide effects that would entail growth in aggregate consumption, a decline in the cost of living, and an expansion of international trade. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
