The GE model is applied to a water development project proposed for the Wasatch Front and Cache Valley regions of Utah — the Bear River Development Project (BRDP). We demonstrate conceptually how an allocation rule and attendant net regional welfare measures are endogenously determined as equilibrium solutions to the bargaining problem. Numerical analysis, based upon a simulation model calibrated to current data, reveals that Nash bargaining is generally infeasible as a solution mechanism for sharing surplus water supplies generated through the implementation of the BRDP, with or without potential ex post side-payments made between Cache Valley and the Wasatch Front. Only in the special case of (1) larger future regional population sizes, (2) a hypothetical, joint per-capita cost-share arrangement where total project (i.e. fixed) costs are shared equally across the two regions, (3) hypothetically larger water augmentation rates, and (4) the ignoring of potential environmental costs, is the Nash bargaining solution viable. Otherwise, for all other scenarios where the analysis is based upon current or future population sizes, joint- or region-specific cost-share arrangements, lower or higher water augmentation rates, and internalized or externalized environmental costs, the Nash bargaining solution is found to be unattainable as a potential mechanism to share surplus water supplies produced by the BRDP.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48644,"journal":{"name":"Water Resources and Economics","volume":"39 ","pages":"Article 100206"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-07-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47938125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These respective components of groundwater's economic value – its ‘stabilization’ and ‘augmentation’ value – have been discussed in the literature before, but we point out some important ways in which they could be diminished if sub-optimal groundwater abstraction is allowed to persist. Groundwater ‘mining’ tends to diminish the augmentation value of groundwater, while leaving the stabilization value unaffected – as long as the resource extraction only manifests itself in terms of increased pumping costs. We illustrate, however, a situation in which even the stabilization value can be attenuated – which arises when constraints to the user's ability to abstract groundwater become binding and prevent her from realizing the stabilizing value that is embodied in the immediate exploitation of the resource. We demonstrate these losses in groundwater's economic value in irrigation through simulating increasingly sub-optimal, non-cooperative and strategic groundwater pumping behavior in a way that has not been done explicitly in the literature, and use a well-studied example from California to give an empirical illustration of our points.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48644,"journal":{"name":"Water Resources and Economics","volume":"38 ","pages":"Article 100195"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2212428422000032/pdfft?md5=d722638d1f705106cf7453faff54194e&pid=1-s2.0-S2212428422000032-main.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"47233783","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"经济学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
