The assessment relies on a double-sided discrete choice experiment valuation using latent-class modeling accounting for preference and scale heterogeneity. This valuation approach is empirically implemented using a case study of a Spanish irrigated district significantly impacted by climate change. The results obtained show individual-specific preference heterogeneity in the WTA-WTP disparity, primarily driven by the different impacts of water reliability on farmers' utility (changes in business revenues and costs, uncertainty in business performance, and farm income effects) and interindividual differences in loss aversion (different degrees of endowment effect). Additionally, the significant scale heterogeneity and ordering effects found suggest that it may be advisable to use modeling approaches that account for them. Several policy-relevant implications can be drawn, including the non-neutrality of the initial allocation of property rights, repercussions on the cost-benefit of climate change adaptation measures, and the need to account for irrigators’ preference heterogeneity in order to design successful market-based instruments.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48644,"journal":{"name":"Water Resources and Economics","volume":"42 ","pages":"Article 100219"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"46272162","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}

Household response options include treating the piped water, using water from an alternative source, and selecting a community with different piped water quality. This intersection between location choice and community piped water quality may manifest as a house price effect. We adapt a residential sorting model to identify variables that characterize the relationship between piped water quality and house price. Many studies explore the impact of locational and structural attributes on house prices but very few include piped water quality. In our model, households in a given community produce water services using piped water, materials and capital or purchase water from an alternate source. A housing rental price equilibrium emerges after households sort themselves among communities varying in piped water quality and alternate source water cost. The presence, direction and size of the relationship between house price and community piped water quality depends on that piped water quality, the cost of treating it, and the quality and cost of substitutes. Absent accounting for these community level characteristics, both measuring and interpreting a relationship between property prices and piped water quality will be questionable. Our model results also suggest that if households know their piped water quality and can afford to invest in treatment or purchase of the substitute, they may adequately avert the impacts of poor quality piped water.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":48644,"journal":{"name":"Water Resources and Economics","volume":"41 ","pages":"Article 100213"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2023-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"41357062","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}

Minimum and ideal environmental flow regimes were embedded in the structure of the reservoir operation model to optimize the environmental flow needs and water supply and assess their tradeoffs. Cropping pattern optimization was used to maximize farmer profit. Particle swarm optimization was applied in the optimization processes. The method was applied to a case study in the Tajan River basin, Iran, with the results showing the environmental flow regime considerably reduces irrigation supply and has significant impacts on farmer profits. The results showed that cropping pattern optimization was not an effective strategy to mitigate the economic impacts of climate change under environmental flow constraints, but this assessment may not be generalized to other areas.
