Furthermore, geographical regions respond differently to adverse oil market shocks that drive up oil prices, with Europe and North America being more negatively affected than countries in Asia and South America.

Collective action is well-suited to match rules with local context, and multiple pathways exist for communities to achieve reductions in groundwater use. To better understand how local conditions influence rule design, we examine two groundwater-reliant communities in the Western US that engaged in collective-action to arrive at distinct groundwater management rules. We consider: what drove stakeholders in Northwestern Kansas (NWKS) and San Luis Valley, Colorado (SLV) to adopt local groundwater policies, and why were different management pathways chosen? Further, why is more heterogeneity observed between local management organizations in SLV as compared to NWKS? To investigate these questions, we employ grounded theory to interpret the rules in reference to local hydro-agro-economic statistics and interviews with stakeholders (n = 19) in each region selected by expert sampling. We find that the additional goals of groundwater rules in SLV, partially driven by key contrasts in the resource system compared to NWKS, and higher resource productivity in SLV, creates both the need for and efficacy of a price-centered policy. Furthermore, variation in the resource systems and associated farm characteristics between subdistricts drives higher heterogeneity in rule design between local management districts in SLV compared to NWKS. More generally, we find the local flexibility afforded through the collective-action process as critical, even if it were to arrive at alternative, non-economic based incentives.}, langid = {english}, pagetotal = {045006}, keywords = {groundwater commons,irrigation,self-governance}, file = {/home/alex/Zotero/storage/KM72TVW9/Allen et al. - 2023 - Market-oriented solutions for groundwater commons .pdf} } @article{anderson2018, title = {Hotelling under {{Pressure}}}, author = {Anderson, Soren T. and Kellogg, Ryan and Salant, Stephen W.}, date = {2018-06}, journaltitle = {Journal of Political Economy}, volume = {126}, number = {3}, pages = {984--1026}, publisher = {University of Chicago}, issn = {00223808}, doi = {10.1086/697203}, url = {https://search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&db=buh&AN=129774982&site=ehost-live}, urldate = {2022-05-08}, abstract = {We show that oil production from existing wells in Texas does not respond to oil prices, while drilling activity and costs respond strongly.

We investigate the effect on land values by exploiting a plausibly exogenous discontinuity in the definition of rights in the Mojave groundwater basin in California. Because both the long-term stream of agricultural rents and the value of tradable permits are capitalized into land value, spatial regression discontinuity designs identify the difference between the value of interior parcels with water rights and those of free riders on the exterior, who can drain from the regulated area with no restrictions. We find that the value of rights outweighs gains realized by free riders and that property rights increase land value by half.

An emission trading system with such design has higher costefficiency and lower distributional effects than a carbon tax at equivalent ambition level (15 USD/tCO2).

Maintaining and improving irrigation performance depends on institutions, the rules, norms, and strategies used to organize economic behavior. However, the influence of institutions on irrigation performance is ambiguous and context dependent, as the shortcomings of decades of “panaceas” have shown. Therefore, for the benefit of academics, policy-makers, water managers, and irrigators alike, this dissertation asks the question: how do rules interact with context—specifically, biophysical context, other rules, and cultural norms—to influence irrigation performance in self-governing irrigation systems under climate change? To answer this question, the following chapters investigate three essential institutional features of irrigation systems and other long-lived common pool resource regimes: de facto access rights, allocation and distribution rules, and monitoring rules. The empirical chapters use original data to investigate the Upper Rio Grande Basin of North America, where Spanish and American self-governing irrigation systems have been adapting snowmelt-driven irrigation to a high desert valley for over 350 and 150 years, respectively, and have recently faced signals of climate change. Following the Institutional Analysis and Development framework and Common Pool Resource theory, this dissertation develops three arguments. First, de facto Prior Appropriation water rights are a reliably strong influence on irrigation performance, but they significantly interact with biophysical context such that de facto water rights have little to no influence. Second, during water scarcity, rules for flexible water allocation and rotational water distribution interact with each other and with water availability to influence irrigation performance differently at different locations within an irrigation system, with implications for inequality and continued collective action. Third, historical selection pressures are associated with institutional and technological features of irrigation systems and internalized norms. These norms interact with monitoring rules to influence the amount and equality of crop production and can conflict with water allocation rules in ways that harm performance in scarcity. Collectively, these arguments highlight the importance of a contextual, diagnostic approach to policy change and the need for further investigation into self-governing irrigation systems under long-term and accelerating climate change.}, isbn = {9780438767553}, langid = {english}, keywords = {Political planning,Public policy} } @article{cody2019, title = {The Evolution of Norms and Their Influence on Performance among Self-Governing Irrigation Systems in the {{Southwestern United States}}}, author = {Cody, Kelsey}, date = {2019-04-25}, journaltitle = {International Journal of the Commons}, shortjournal = {Int J Commons}, volume = {13}, number = {1}, pages = {578}, issn = {1875-0281}, doi = {10.18352/ijc.910}, url = {https://www.thecommonsjournal.org/article/10.18352/ijc.910/}, urldate = {2024-02-06}, abstract = {Irrigation is important for global food supply and is vulnerable to climate change. Internalized cultural norms are important for the performance of Common Pool Resource (CPR) regimes such as irrigation systems, but much is unknown about the role of norms in shaping irrigation performance. This paper applies multi-level selection (MLS) theory and CPR theory to a stratified, semirandom sample of 71 irrigation systems of distinct cultural origins in the Upper Rio Grande Basin of the United States to test hypotheses related to the role of norms in irrigation system form and function. Results show that internalized norms of cooperation are strongly associated with the rules and technologies adopted by irrigators, the frequency of water use violations, average crop production, and the equality of crop production. Systems with internalized norms of cooperation have adopted rules and technologies which are associated with increased care for the commons, public goods, and higher equality between irrigators. Further, agents designated as monitors of CPR use have different effects depending on whether irrigators possess cooperative or competitive norms. Notably, the presence of monitors that enforce rules that are incongruent with norms is associated with increased water use violations and lower average crop production. These findings add weight to the growing body of work giving greater attention to cultural context when analyzing user-governed CPR regimes and climate resilience, and further illustrate the compatibility of MLS theory with other prevailing theories in CPR research.}, langid = {english}, file = {/home/alex/Zotero/storage/B3373H8Y/Cody - 2019 - The evolution of norms and their influence on perf.pdf} } @article{coglianese2017, title = {Anticipation, {{Tax Avoidance}}, and the {{Price Elasticity}} of {{Gasoline Demand}}}, author = {Coglianese, John and Davis, Lucas W. and Kilian, Lutz and Stock, James H.}, date = {2017}, journaltitle = {Journal of Applied Econometrics}, volume = {32}, number = {1}, pages = {1--15}, issn = {1099-1255}, doi = {10.1002/jae.2500}, url = {https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/jae.2500}, urldate = {2023-02-26}, abstract = {Least-squares estimates of the response of gasoline consumption to a change in the gasoline price are biased toward zero, given the endogeneity of gasoline prices.

The past attempts to examine and compare the efficiency of water rights markets have been qualitative. This paper provides a quantitative basis for assessing the efficiency of a regional water rights market. In the absence of externalities and public goods problems, water rights markets, which are separate from land markets and in which arbitrage yields a competitive price system, may be termed efficient in allocating water.

The first chapter provides a brief overview of three important areas of groundwater commons irrigation addressed in this dissertation. The second chapter’s objectives are two-fold. First, I review the common-pool resources literature relative to concerns of sustainable extraction and implementation of conservation policies focusing on pricing incentives in the management of groundwater commons where irrigators share the same underlying aquifer. Second, I introduce a theoretical model involving incorporating a non-constant marginal cost of water dependent on a Pigouvian tax anddepth to water as cost-metric water scarcity measure into a multi-crop agricultural production theoretical model. This model motivates the empirical investigation of how irrigators are impacted differently by implementation of a conservation fee designed as a constant per unit water withdrawal (pumping) tax, based on the varying levels of scarcity they are con-fronted with. The third chapter describes the data and the sources of the data used in the dissertation as well as the implementation of a pumping fee in San Luis Valley of Colorado, the study region. In the fourth chapter, I present and estimate an empirical model motivated by the theoretical model of Chapter 2. The empirical investigation reveals that irrigators are impacted differently by the pumping fee based on the varying levels of scarcity they are face with. The fifth chapter builds on the analysis in the fourth chapter. Having established differential effects of the pumping fee on irrigators based on scarcity levels, I proceed to investigate how this might affect the distributional efficiency of this pricing policy. I categorize irrigators into two groups—low water-stress severity and high water-stress severity statuses – based on whether they have faced continuous scarcity for at least two successive irrigation or growing seasons. I interact this dummy variable with the pumping fee policy variable and conduct a panel quantile regression analysis. The result of this chapter shows that severely water-stressed irrigators with low pumping levels bear a disproportionate portion of the pumping tax burden, suggesting that a constant per unit pumping fee is regressive and may not be distributionally efficient in addressing conservation in groundwater commons in the long run. In the sixth chapter, I adopt a game theoretic approach, modelling possible interaction among irrigating units, to investigate the strategic responses of these irrigating units. Irrigating units may alter their irrigating habits in response to changes in irrigation choices and other farming input decisions by neighbors. I estimate Spatial Durbin Models, includinga Spatial Durbin fractional Probit model to explore whether spillover effects exist among irrigating units in terms of water use intensity, acreage size choice and production (land) use intensity. I control for the pumping fee, surface water use, depth to water levels (scarcity), types and acres of crops cultivated, and other irrigating unit specific characteristics, including their spatially lagged counterparts. The results indicate that in determining the amount of water use intensity, acreage size choices, and production intensity, irrigating units consider the choices of neighbors, with the strength of spatial dependency being highest for production intensity. Additionally, there are significant spillover (indirect) effects from changes in key covariates that show inadequacy of estimating only direct effects.}, isbn = {9798516959134}, langid = {english}, keywords = {Adjustment,Agricultural economics,Agriculture,Aquifers,Climate Change,Competition,Drought,Economics,Efficiency,Environmental economics,Estimates,Fees & charges,Groundwater,Irrigation,Variables,Water Resources Management,Water shortages}, file = {/home/alex/Zotero/storage/EC424HFP/Ekpe - 2021 - Pumping Fees and Spillovers in the Groundwater Com.pdf} } @article{engel2008, title = {Designing Payments for Environmental Services in Theory and Practice: {{An}} Overview of the Issues}, shorttitle = {Designing Payments for Environmental Services in Theory and Practice}, author = {Engel, Stefanie and Pagiola, Stefano and Wunder, Sven}, date = {2008-05}, journaltitle = {Ecological Economics}, shortjournal = {Ecological Economics}, volume = {65}, number = {4}, pages = {663--674}, issn = {09218009}, doi = {10.1016/j.ecolecon.2008.03.011}, url = {https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0921800908001420}, urldate = {2023-07-18}, abstract = {Payments for environmental services (PES) have attracted increasing interest as a mechanism to translate external, non-market values of the environment into real financial incentives for local actors to provide environmental services (ES).

Second, crude oil wells produce associated gas, while natural gas wells often produce associated liquid hydrocarbons. This creates an associated-commodity channel through which a price shock for one commodity will increase supply of the other. Which effect dominates depends on the characteristics of the producing region. We test the model using well-level data from five large oil and gas producing basins in Texas and Oklahoma.

This article argues that, under circumstances that generally prevail in semiarid zones, assigning property rights to groundwater and permitting the market to determine the allocation of water use can lead to a second-best solution. An argument is made that if potential users would be allowed to Coase-bargain with incumbent users on the issuance of new groundwater rights, the second-best solution is elevated to a Pareto-optimal solution. This article is also a tale of two states: water law and performance in New Mexico and Arizona. At the outset this paper held that the adaptation of the appropriative system to groundwater gives rise to an efficient intertemporal allocation of groundwater diversion where natural recharge and the slope of the demand for water are small relative to the storage of the aquifer. This should be true in typical cases of mining groundwater (e.g., the Ogallala), as well as in most cases of rechargeable aquifers such as the Pecos. Thus it has been shown that the appropriative system, by establishing exclusive individual water rights, prevents congestion but also results in pumping trajectories that are roughly identical with optimal control. It was stressed, however, that in the absence of a mechanism allowing a potential user who appears on the scene to compensate the incumbents to increase aggregate rights in his favor, we cannot be sure that a Pareto-optimal level of groundwater rights has been reached.

Greedy matching does not minimize the total distance within matched pairs, though good algorithms exist for optimal matching that do minimize the total distance. How much better is optimal matching than greedy matching? We find that optimal matching is sometimes noticeably better than greedy matching in the sense of producing closely matched pairs, sometimes only marginally better, but it is no better than greedy matching in the sense of producing balanced matched samples. (2) Structures: In common practice, treated units are matched to one control, called pair matching or 1–1 matching, or treated units are matched to two controls, called 1–2 matching, and so on. It is known, however, that the optimal structure is a full matching in which a treated unit may have one or more controls or a control may have one or more treated units. Optimal 1 — k matching is compared to optimal full matching, finding that optimal full matching is often much better.

The prevalence of small farms in the 1930s limited private solutions for controlling the downwind externalities associated with wind erosion. Drifting sand from unprotected fields damaged neighboring farms. Small farmers cultivated more of their land and were less likely to invest in erosion control than larger farmers.

For dispersion in Z, pair matching is best, creating matched sets that are equally balanced between the groups; but actual data place limits, often severe limits, on matched pairs' uniformity in X. At the other extreme is full matching, the matched sets of which are as uniform in X as can be, while often so poorly dispersed in Z as to sacrifice efficiency. This article presents an algorithm for exploring the intermediate territory. Given requirements on matched sets' uniformity in X and dispersion in Z, the algorithm first decides the requirements' feasibility. In feasible cases, it furnishes a match that is optimal for X-uniformity among matches with Z-dispersion as stipulated.

For robustness, this paper splits the whole sample period into two different subsamples: a more volatile and a less volatile sub-period. Moreover, to capture both long- and short-run asymmetries between Bitcoin and gold price returns, an asymmetric nonlinear cointegration approach (NARDL) is applied. The results evidence that the most relevant risk factor is the VIX index, followed by changes in the STLFSI stress index, and both show negative and statistically significant effects on Bitcoin returns in most periods and quantiles. The US stock market returns have statistically significant effects (with positive sign) on Bitcoin returns in all periods and specifically in high quantiles. Bitcoin returns show negative statistically significant sensitivity to changes in nominal interest rates in the highest quantile and the full period. Moreover, Bitcoin returns show negative and statistically significant sensitivity to oil returns at low quantiles, by serving as a safe-haven asset during economic turmoil. Therefore, in general, the sensitivity of Bitcoin returns to movements in international risk factors tends to be more pronounced in extreme market conditions (bullish and bearish scenarios), showing the highest explanatory power in the lowest quantile.

We present experimental evidence based on an irrigation game played in communities that are dependent on one of the largest contiguous irrigation network: the Indus basin irrigation system in Punjab, Pakistan. Furthermore, we simulate two institutional mechanisms that are neglected in experimental studies, despite their importance in many CPR governance systems: traditional authorities and legal pluralism. In our experiments, Punjabi farmers (N= 160) managed to provide the CPR at a level close to the social optimum, even without communication or enforcement opportunities. The equal investment in water infrastructure seems to be a strong social norm, even though those in disadvantageous positions (tail-users) earn less than those who have preferential access (head-users). At the same time, head-users restrain themselves from maximum resource extraction, which could be interpreted either as a norm or a stationary bandit strategy. In contrast to one of the most consistent findings of previous experimental studies, the participants in our experiment increased their earnings over the experimental rounds by using the available resources in a more efficient manner. One explanation for this behavior could be the availability of social information in our game. Starting from a high level of cooperation during baseline rounds, the treatments did not change the group investment significantly. The introduction of external sanctions created additional coordination problems, which led to a decrease in the level of group welfare.

Yet several political economy factors can severely constrain the implementation of these carbon pricing policies, including opposition of industrial sectors with a concentration of assets that would lose considerable value under such policies; the collective action nature of climate mitigation efforts; principal agent failures; and a low willingness-to-pay for climate mitigation by citizens. Real-world implementations of carbon pricing policies can thus fall short of the economically optimal outcomes envisioned in theory. Consistent with the general theory of the second-best, the presence of binding political economy constraints opens a significant “opportunity space” for the design of creative climate policy instruments with superior political feasibility, economic efficiency, and environmental efficacy relative to the constrained implementation of carbon pricing policies. This paper presents theoretical political economy frameworks relevant to climate policy design and provides corroborating evidence from the United States context. It concludes with a series of implications for climate policy making and argues for the creative pursuit of a mix of second-best policy instruments.}, langid = {english}, file = {/home/alex/Zotero/storage/EZY5RH62/Jenkins - 2014 - Political economy constraints on carbon pricing po.pdf} } @book{jevons1865, title = {The {{Coal Question}}; an {{Inquiry Concerning}} the {{Progress}} of the {{Nation}}, and the {{Probable Exhaustion}} of Our {{Coal-Mines}}}, author = {Jevons, W.}, date = {1865}, publisher = {{Macmillan and Co}}, location = {London; Cambridge}, langid = {english}, keywords = {Coal industry,Coal mining,Mining industry} } @article{karp2012, title = {Taxes versus Quantities for a Stock Pollutant with Endogenous Abatement Costs and Asymmetric Information}, author = {Karp, Larry and Zhang, Jiangfeng}, date = {2012-02-01}, journaltitle = {Economic Theory}, volume = {49}, number = {2}, pages = {371--410}, publisher = {Springer}, issn = {09382259}, doi = {10.1007/s00199-010-0561-y}, url = {http://go.gale.com/ps/i.do?p=AONE&sw=w&issn=09382259&v=2.1&it=r&id=GALE%7CA307919608&sid=googleScholar&linkaccess=abs}, urldate = {2021-02-27}, langid = {english}, file = {/home/alex/Zotero/storage/4YU6ADIH/Karp and Zhang - 2012 - Taxes versus quantities for a stock pollutant with.pdf;/home/alex/Zotero/storage/EPC2JM92/Karp and Zhang - 2012 - Taxes versus quantities for a stock pollutant with.pdf;/home/alex/Zotero/storage/X6YGIERQ/i.html} } @online{keys2024, title = {Conejos {{County Property Search}}}, author = {Keys, Naomi}, date = {2024}, url = {https://qpublic.schneidercorp.com/Application.aspx?AppID=1217&LayerID=36995&PageTypeID=3&PageID=14237}, urldate = {2024-06-03}, organization = {qPublic}, file = {/home/alex/Zotero/storage/LY2IB2UV/Application.html} } @article{kilian2009, title = {Why {{Agnostic Sign Restrictions Are Not Enough}}: {{Understanding}} the {{Dynamics}} of {{Oil Market VAR Models}}}, shorttitle = {Why {{Agnostic Sign Restrictions Are Not Enough}}}, author = {Kilian, Lutz and Murphy, Daniel P.}, date = {2009}, journaltitle = {IDEAS Working Paper Series from RePEc}, publisher = {Federal Reserve Bank of St Louis}, location = {St. Louis}, url = {https://search.proquest.com/publiccontent/docview/1698253301?pq-origsite=primo}, urldate = {2023-02-11}, abstract = {Sign restrictions on the responses generated by structural vector autoregressive models have been proposed as an alternative approach to the use of exclusion restrictions on the impact multiplier matrix. In recent years such models have been increasingly used to identify demand and supply shocks in the market for crude oil. We demonstrate that sign restrictions alone are insufficient to infer the responses of the real price of oil to such shocks. Moreover, the conventional assumption that all admissible models are equally likely is routinely violated in oil market models, calling into question the use of median responses to characterize the responses to structural shocks. When combining sign restrictions with additional empirically plausible bounds on the magnitude of the short-run oil supply elasticity and on the impact response of real activity, however, it is possible to reduce the set of admissible model solutions to a small number of qualitatively similar estimates. The resulting model estimates are broadly consistent with earlier results regarding the relative importance of demand and supply shocks for the real price of oil based on structural VAR models identified by exclusion restrictions, but imply very different dynamics from the median responses in VAR models based on sign restrictions only.}, langid = {english}, file = {/home/alex/Zotero/storage/HXNH38GN/Why Agnostic Sign Restrictions Are Not Enough Und.pdf} } @article{kilian2014, title = {The {{Role}} of {{Inventories}} and {{Speculative Trading}} in the {{Global Market}} for {{Crude Oil}}}, author = {Kilian, Lutz and Murphy, Daniel P.}, date = {2014}, journaltitle = {Journal of Applied Econometrics}, volume = {29}, number = {3}, pages = {454--478}, issn = {1099-1255}, doi = {10.1002/jae.2322}, url = {http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.1002/jae.2322}, urldate = {2022-11-21}, abstract = {We develop a structural model of the global market for crude oil that for the first time explicitly allows for shocks to the speculative demand for oil as well as shocks to flow demand and flow supply. The speculative component of the real price of oil is identified with the help of data on oil inventories. Our estimates rule out explanations of the 2003–2008 oil price surge based on unexpectedly diminishing oil supplies and based on speculative trading. Instead, this surge was caused by unexpected increases in world oil consumption driven by the global business cycle. There is evidence, however, that speculative demand shifts played an important role during earlier oil price shock episodes including 1979, 1986 and 1990. Our analysis implies that additional regulation of oil markets would not have prevented the 2003–2008 oil price surge. We also show that, even after accounting for the role of inventories in smoothing oil consumption, our estimate of the short-run price elasticity of oil demand is much higher than traditional estimates from dynamic models that do not account for for the endogeneity of the price of oil.

Using different econometric models, i) a time-varying parameter structural vector autoregression (TVP SVAR) model with short-run identifying restrictions, ii) a structural VAR (SVAR) model with the short-run identifying restrictions, and iii) a VAR model with orderingfree generalized impulse response VAR (GIR VAR), we find that the response of the Chinese interest rate to the oil price shocks is not only time-varying but also showing quite different signs of responses. Specifically, in the earlier sample period (1992:4–2001:10), the interest rate shows a negative response to the oil price shock, while in the latter period (2001:11–2014:5) it shows a positive response to the shock. Given the negative response of the world oil production to an oil price shock in the earlier period, the shock is identified as a negative supply shock or a precautionary demand shock as suggested by Kilian (2009), thereby the negative response of the interest rate to the oil price shock is deemed as economy-boosting. The positive response of the interest rate to the oil price shock in the later period, given that this shock is identified as a positive world oil demand shock, gives evidence that stabilization of inflation is one of the main objectives of China's monetary authority, even though the current main objective of the monetary policy is characterized as “maintaining the stability of the value of the currency and thereby promoting economic growth.” Finally, the variance decomposition results reveal that the oil price shock becomes an increasingly important source in the volatility of China's interest rate. © 2016 Elsevier B.V.

In this model we have extended into consumption theory activity analysis, which has proved so penetrating in its application to production theory. The crucial assumption in making this application has been the assumption that goods possess, or gire rise to, multiple characteristics in fixed proportions and that it is these characteristics, not goods themselves, on which the consumer's preferences are exercised. The result, as this brief survey of the possibilities has shown, is a model very many rimes richer in heuristic explanatory and predictive power than the con- ventional model of consumer behavior and one that deals easily with those many common-sense characteristics of actual behavior that have found no place in traditional exposition. This paper is nothing more than a condensed presentation of some of the great number of possible ways in which the model can be used.

Data were obtained from a visitor survey administered along the Poudre River in Colorado. In the dichotomous choice CVM willingness to pay (WTP) question, visitors were asked if they would still visit the river if the cost of their trip was \$Y higher, and the level of \$Y was varied across the sample. The CVM yielded an estimate of WTP that was sensitive to flows ranging from \$55 per person per day at 300 Cubic Feet per Second (CFS) to a maximum \$97 per person per day at flows of 1900 CFS. The recreation demand model estimated a boater's number of trips per season. We found the number of trips taken was also sensitive to flow, ranging from as little as 1.63 trips at 300 CFS to a maximum number of 14 trips over the season at 1900 CFS. Thus, there is consistency between peak benefits per trip and number of trips, respectively. With an average of about 100 non-commercial boaters per day, the maximum marginal values per acre foot averages about \$220. This value exceeds irrigation water values in this area of Colorado.

This challenge is exacerbated by the growing impacts and uncertainty of climate change on water resources. Calls to reform water governance systems are often made in the context of these challenges, and reform efforts increasingly emphasize the need for solutions that are locally designed and administered. Such reforms often require fundamental institutional change that is difficult to achieve amid the myriad forces that stabilize and reproduce existing institutional structures and functions. In practice, governance change is instead overwhelmingly incremental and tends to be punctuated by periods of adjustment in response to social or environmental shocks and disturbances. We present a comparative study of four major Colorado river basins and examine how each has evolved distinct arrangements of groundwater governance in response to regulatory and drought disturbances over the past century. We interrogate concepts of path-dependence and apply a historical lens to understand why locally designed institutions for self-regulation emerge in some Colorado groundwater basins but not in others. We uncover a pattern of collective action by groundwater users that first seeks to oppose state regulation, followed by acceptance and efforts to comply, and eventual attempts to get ahead of state regulation by enacting local institutions for self-regulation. We report these findings and discuss the insights they offer for understanding how adaptive natural resources institutions are shaped through time by the constraints and opportunities of path-dependence and local contexts.}, file = {/home/alex/Zotero/storage/BBBU39M9/Loos et al. - 2022 - Individual to collective adaptation through increm.pdf} } @online{makarov2021, type = {Working Paper}, title = {Blockchain {{Analysis}} of the {{Bitcoin Market}}}, author = {Makarov, Igor and Schoar, Antoinette}, date = {2021-10}, series = {Working {{Paper Series}}}, number = {29396}, eprint = {29396}, eprinttype = {National Bureau of Economic Research}, doi = {10.3386/w29396}, url = {https://www.nber.org/papers/w29396}, urldate = {2023-01-27}, abstract = {In this paper, we provide detailed analyses of the Bitcoin network and its main participants.

Water right retirement leads to groundwater benefits that are \$0.55 million higher than in the baseline after 15 years, but benefits vary greatly over space.

We estimate a gas drilling response of 0.9\% per 1\% gas price shock, for both conventional and unconventional sources. Nonetheless, because unconventional wells produce about three times more gas per well than conventional ones, the supply response is much larger for unconventional supply. Accounting for changes to the level and composition of drilling activity, the gas supply is about three times more responsive during the “shale era” of 2010–15 compared to 2000–2005.

This means that the long run relationship properties are intact. In other words, the means and variances are constant and not depending on time. However, most empirical researches have shown that the constancy of the means and variances are not satisfied in analyzing time series variables. In the event of resolving this problem most cointegration techniques are wrongly applied, estimated, and interpreted. One of these techniques is the Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) cointegration technique or bound cointegration technique. Hence, this study reviews the issues surrounding the way cointegration techniques are applied, estimated and interpreted within the context of ARDL cointegration framework. The study shows that the adoption of the ARDL cointegration technique does not require pretests for unit roots unlike other techniques. Consequently, ARDL cointegration technique is preferable when dealing with variables that are integrated of different order, I(0), I(1) or combination of the both and, robust when there is a single long run relationship between the underlying variables in a small sample size. The long run relationship of the underlying variables is detected through the F-statistic (Wald test). In this approach, long run relationship of the series is said to be established when the Fstatistic exceeds the critical value band. The major advantage of this approach lies in its identification of the cointegrating vectors where there are multiple cointegrating vectors. However, this technique will crash in the presence of integrated stochastic trend of I(2). To forestall effort in futility, it may be advisable to test for unit roots, though not as a necessary condition. Based on forecast and policy stance, there is need to explore the necessary conditions that give rise to ARDL cointegration technique in order to avoid its wrongful application, estimation, and interpretation. If the conditions are not followed, it may lead to model misspecification and inconsistent and unrealistic estimates with its implication on forecast and policy. However, this paper cannot claim to have treated the underlying issues in their greatest details, but have endeavoured to provide sufficient insight into the issues surrounding ARDL cointegration technique to young practitioners to enable them to properly apply, estimate, and interpret; in addition to following discussions of the issues in some more advanced texts.}, langid = {english}, file = {/home/alex/Zotero/storage/XJR88FKS/Nkoro and Uko - Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) cointegratio.pdf} } @letter{odor2003, type = {Letter}, title = {Acceptance Letters from the State Engineer's Office}, author = {Odor, Jack}, date = {2003}, publisher = {Colorado State University.

Our results of wavelet decomposition suggest that the magnitude of comovement ranging from short- to long-run is time varying. Finally, results of the causality on quantile test suggest that Bitcoin returns cause changes in Bitcoin hashrate mostly during median quantiles with an asymmetric pattern. Our work entail implications for investors in the Bitcoin and energy market and is also helpful in forecasting the pricing behavior of Bitcoin using the hashrate and vice versa.}, langid = {english}, keywords = {Bitcoin hashrate,Bitcoin prices,Causality in quantiles analysis,Commodity futures,Wavelet analysis}, file = {/home/alex/Zotero/storage/MBM8TUZE/Rehman and Kang - 2021 - A time–frequency comovement and causality relation.pdf;/home/alex/Zotero/storage/3SPJPM7T/S1044028320302763.html} } @misc{rgwcd2014, title = {{{CREP PowerPoint}}}, author = {{Rio Grande Water Conservation District}}, shortauthor = {{RGWCD}}, date = {2014}, url = {https://www.rgwcd.org/files/1def8c50c/CREP_PPT.pdf}, urldate = {2023-06-23}, file = {/home/alex/Zotero/storage/JPI6R78H/CREP_PPT.pdf} } @misc{rgwcd2015, title = {Fact {{Sheet CREP- Colorado Rio Grande}}}, author = {{Rio Grande Water Conservation District}}, shortauthor = {{RGWCD}}, date = {2015-02}, url = {https://www.rgwcd.org/files/45978fdfb/2015Fact+Sheet+RG+CREP_updated2092015.pdf}, urldate = {2023-06-23}, organization = {Rio Grande Water Conservation District}, file = {/home/alex/Zotero/storage/RPQDEYJN/2015Fact+Sheet+RG+CREP_updated2092015.pdf} } @online{rgwcd2024, title = {Closed {{Basin Project}}}, author = {{Rio Grande Water Conservation District}}, shortauthor = {{RGWCD}}, date = {2024}, url = {https://www.rgwcd.org/closed-basin-project}, urldate = {2024-05-26}, organization = {Rio Grande Water Conservation District}, file = {/home/alex/Zotero/storage/UXZVBUXU/closed-basin-project.html} } @online{rgwcd2023, type = {Rio Grande Water Conservation District}, title = {{{CREP}}}, author = {{Rio Grande Water Conservation District}}, shortauthor = {{RGWCD}}, date = {2023}, url = {https://www.rgwcd.org/crep}, urldate = {2023-06-23}, abstract = {The Colorado Rio Grande CREP is a partnership between the United States Department of Agriculture, the State of Colorado and Subdistrict No. 1 of the…}, langid = {english}, organization = {Rio Grande Water Conservation District}, file = {/home/alex/Zotero/storage/96DPS6QV/crep.html} } @article{rosen1974, title = {Hedonic {{Prices}} and {{Implicit Markets}}: {{Product Differentiation}} in {{Pure Competition}}}, shorttitle = {Hedonic {{Prices}} and {{Implicit Markets}}}, author = {Rosen, Sherwin}, date = {1974}, journaltitle = {The Journal of political economy}, volume = {82}, number = {1}, pages = {34--55}, publisher = {The University of Chicago Press}, location = {Chicago}, issn = {0022-3808}, doi = {10.1086/260169}, abstract = {A CLASS OF DIFFERENTIATED PRODUCTS IS COMPLETELY DESCRIBED BY A VECTOR OF OBJECTIVELY MEASURED CHARACTERISTICS.

Aquifer depletion has been shown to affect the rate that groundwater can be extracted from an aquifer. In this paper, we develop an analytical framework that accounts explicitly for the effects of limited instantaneous groundwater extraction rate (well capacity) on a producer's irrigation decisions. We show that limited well capacities can affect the producer’s groundwater use and profit. We draw three important insights from these findings. First, we demonstrate that the price elasticity of demand for groundwater is higher for lower well capacities. Second, farmers’ irrigation decisions are non-monotonic with respect to well capacity and climate conditions. Under a drier climate, producers with greater well capacities increase their groundwater use, and producers with lower well capacities reduce their water use. Third, through numerical analysis, we show that considering spatial heterogeneity in well capacities is important for estimating the cost-effectiveness and distributional impacts of groundwater management policies.

We find that enrollment in the retirement program causes neighboring wells to initially pump less groundwater on average. However, water use reductions are only temporary, due to relative increases in stock levels over time. The results imply that policies that retire water rights may conserve more water than anticipated in the short term, but, over time, higher resource stocks could lead to policy leakage.

Overall average learning rates for pipeline material and labor costs are 6.1\% and 12.4\%, respectively. Overall average cost shares for pipeline material, labor, miscellaneous, and right of way (ROW) are 31\%, 40\%, 23\%, and 7\%, respectively. Regression models are developed to estimate pipeline component costs for different lengths, cross-sectional areas, and locations. An analysis of inaccuracy in pipeline cost estimation demonstrates that the cost estimation of pipeline cost components is biased except for in the case of total costs.

Under an asymptotic regime in which both the number of parameters and time series observations jointly diverge to infinity, we show that SPECS is able to consistently estimate an appropriate linear combination of the cointegrating vectors that may occur in the underlying DGP. In addition, SPECS is shown to enable the correct recovery of sparsity patterns in the parameter space and to posses the same limiting distribution as the OLS oracle procedure.

Percent changes in the price index measure the inflation rate between any two time periods. The most common inflation metric is the percent change from one year ago. It can also represent the buying habits of urban consumers. This particular index includes roughly 88 percent of the total population, accounting for wage earners, clerical workers, technical workers, self-employed, short-term workers, unemployed, retirees, and those not in the labor force. The CPIs are based on prices for food, clothing, shelter, and fuels; transportation fares; service fees (e.g., water and sewer service); and sales taxes. Prices are collected monthly from about 4,000 housing units and approximately 26,000 retail establishments across 87 urban areas. To calculate the index, price changes are averaged with weights representing their importance in the spending of the particular group. The index measures price changes (as a percent change) from a predetermined reference date. In addition to the original unadjusted index distributed, the Bureau of Labor Statistics also releases a seasonally adjusted index. The unadjusted series reflects all factors that may influence a change in prices. However, it can be very useful to look at the seasonally adjusted CPI, which removes the effects of seasonal changes, such as weather, school year, production cycles, and holidays. The CPI can be used to recognize periods of inflation and deflation. Significant increases in the CPI within a short time frame might indicate a period of inflation, and significant decreases in CPI within a short time frame might indicate a period of deflation. However, because the CPI includes volatile food and oil prices, it might not be a reliable measure of inflationary and deflationary periods. For a more accurate detection, the core CPI (CPILFESL (https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/CPILFESL)) is often used. When using the CPI, please note that it is not applicable to all consumers and should not be used to determine relative living costs. Additionally, the CPI is a statistical measure vulnerable to sampling error since it is based on a sample of prices and not the complete average.

PES programs often differ substantially one from the other. Some of the differences reflect adaptation of the basic concept to very different ecological, socioeconomic, or institutional conditions; others reflect poor design, due either to mistakes or to the need to accommodate political pressures. We find significant differences between user-financed PES programs, in which funding comes from the users of the ES being provided, and government-financed programs, in which funding comes from a third party. The user-financed programs in our sample were better targeted, more closely tailored to local conditions and needs, had better monitoring and a greater willingness to enforce conditionality, and had far fewer confounding side objectives than governmentfinanced programs. We finish by outlining some perspectives on how both user- and government-financed PES programs could be made more effective and cost-efficient.}, langid = {english}, file = {/home/alex/Zotero/storage/UXTHB636/Wunder et al. - 2008 - Taking stock A comparative analysis of payments f.pdf} } @article{yang2003, title = {Water Scarcity, Pricing Mechanism and Institutional Reform in Northern {{China}} Irrigated Agriculture}, author = {Yang, Hong and Zhang, Xiaohe and Zehnder, Alexander J.B.}, date = {2003-06}, journaltitle = {Agricultural Water Management}, shortjournal = {Agricultural Water Management}, volume = {61}, number = {2}, pages = {143--161}, issn = {03783774}, doi = {10.1016/S0378-3774(02)00164-6}, url = {https://linkinghub.elsevier.com/retrieve/pii/S0378377402001646}, urldate = {2023-07-24}, abstract = {With water scarcity becoming an increasing constraint to food production in northern China, pricing mechanism has been given a high priority in dealing with the problem. Using selected irrigation districts in northern China as a case study, this paper probes the effectiveness of pricingbased water policies in addressing challenges facing irrigated agriculture under China’s current water management institutions. The examination shows that the rapid increase in irrigation cost during the past decade has failed to generate a force for water conservation. Over-exploitation of groundwater resources has even intensified with the shift to higher value-added but often more water intensive crops. Based on a normative analysis of water demand curves, the logic behind the reluctance for water authorities and farmers to conserve water is elaborated. The result suggests that pricing irrigation alone is not a valid means of encouraging water conservation under the current irrigation management institutions. Clearly defined and legally enforceable water rights and responsibilities for water operators and users in the irrigation system are the foundation underlying the incentives for conserving water and improving the irrigation efficiency.}, langid = {english}, file = {/home/alex/Zotero/storage/27Y6RMAT/Yang et al. - 2003 - Water scarcity, pricing mechanism and institutiona.pdf} } @article{yang2004, title = {Integrating {{Farmer Decision Making}} to {{Target Land Retirement Programs}}}, author = {Yang, Wanhong and Isik, Murat}, date = {2004-10}, journaltitle = {Agricultural and Resource Economics Review}, volume = {33}, number = {2}, pages = {233--244}, publisher = {Cambridge University Press}, location = {Durham, United Kingdom}, issn = {10682805}, url = {https://www.proquest.com/docview/214072399/citation/306B7E4818F146ADPQ/1}, urldate = {2023-07-09}, langid = {english}, pagetotal = {12}, keywords = {Agricultural production,Agriculture,Agriculture--Agricultural Economics,Conservation,Cost analysis,Decision making,Farmers,Land use,Retirement,Riparian buffers,Risk aversion,Sediments,Technology adoption,Watersheds}, file = {/home/alex/Zotero/storage/WEJQAP67/Yang and Isik - 2004 - Integrating Farmer Decision Making to Target Land .pdf} } @article{yeboah2015, title = {Agricultural Landowners’ Willingness to Participate in a Filter Strip Program for Watershed Protection}, author = {Yeboah, Felix Kwame and Lupi, Frank and Kaplowitz, Michael D.}, date = {2015-12-01}, journaltitle = {Land Use Policy}, shortjournal = {Land Use Policy}, volume = {49}, pages = {75--85}, issn = {0264-8377}, doi = {10.1016/j.landusepol.2015.07.016}, url = {https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0264837715002252}, urldate = {2023-07-09}, abstract = {Non point source (NPS) pollution remains a challenge to communities meeting watershed management objectives around the world. Installing agricultural best management practices (BMPs) such as filter strips is a widely accepted mechanism to control NPS pollution and agricultural runoff. Government programs in the form of payment for environmental services (PES) have been introduced to encourage BMP adoption for watershed protection. However, the voluntary nature of these programs makes landowners’ decision to participate in them critical to achieving program goals. Understanding the drivers behind landowners’ decisions to participate in watershed protection programs is essential for designing effective and efficient programs. This study examines agricultural landowners’ decisions to participate in a conservation program involving filter strips. Using responses from a survey of agricultural landowners in Michigan's Saginaw Bay watershed, the study examines key programmatic, socio-psychological, and demographic determinants of landowners’ participation decisions. The study results suggest that making contract durations shorter with enhanced rental payments, and educating landowners about program efficacy as well as on- and off-farm benefits of the conservation practice would enhance participation.}, langid = {english}, keywords = {Conservation program,Filter strips,Landowner behavior,Watershed management}, file = {/home/alex/Zotero/storage/A4TW2UMM/Yeboah et al. - 2015 - Agricultural landowners’ willingness to participat.pdf;/home/alex/Zotero/storage/B5CBA7KI/S0264837715002252.html} } @article{youngs1983b, title = {Ground-Water Models: {{Volume I}}, Concepts, Problems and Methods of Analysis with Examples of Their Application. {{J}}.{{D}}. {{Bredehoeft}} et al. {{UNESCO Press}}, {{France}}, 1982. 235 Pp. {{Studies}} and Reports in Hydrology {{No}}. 34. 70.00 {{FF}}. {{ISBN}} 92-3-102006-4}, shorttitle = {Ground-Water Models}, author = {Youngs, E.
