  • The essential but often misunderstood role of economics in groundwater sustainability research

    Open AccessWilliam K Jaeger, Ellen Bruno et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2025

    To promote better groundwater policymaking, hydrologists and economists need to work together. The importance of hydrology is self-evident, but we posit that questions about the causes of and potential solutions for groundwater problems, and pathways to better policymaking, are fundamentally economics questions in that they rely on understanding people’s preferences, incentives, and responses to laws and other institutions that guide people’s act…

  • Synthesis and Review

    Open AccessJuan-Carlos Ciscar, Karen Fisher‐Vanden et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2018

    The agricultural sector is one of the most sensitive to climate change, with potentially significant implications for food security and welfare. Alternative methodological approaches—such as process models, statistical models and integrated assessment models—have been used to estimate climate impacts on agriculture, not always with consistent results. This focus issue intends to shed light on the sign and order of magnitude of agricultural impact…

  • Quantifying the indirect impacts of climate on agriculture

    Open AccessKatherine Calvin, Kate Calvin et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2017

    Climate change and increases in CO2 concentration affect the productivity of land, with implications for land use, land cover, and agricultural production. Much of the literature on the effect of climate on agriculture has focused on linking projections of changes in climate to process-based or statistical crop models. However, the changes in productivity have broader economic implications that cannot be quantified in crop models alone. How impor…

  • Invisible water, visible impact

    Open AccessEsha Zaveri, Danielle Grogan et al.ARTICLEEnvironmental Research Letters2016

    India is one of the world’s largest food producers, making the sustainability of its agricultural system of global significance. Groundwater irrigation underpins India’s agriculture, currently boosting crop production by enough to feed 170 million people. Groundwater overexploitation has led to drastic declines in groundwater levels, threatening to push this vital resource out of reach for millions of small-scale farmers who are the backbone of I…

  • Moving Pollution Trading from Air to Water

    Open AccessKaren Fisher-Vanden, Karen Fisher‐Vanden et al.ARTICLEThe Journal of Economic…2013Cited by: 5References: 38

    This paper seeks to assess the current status of water quality trading and to identify possible problems and solutions. Water pollution permit trading programs have rarely been comprehensively described and analyzed in the peer-reviewed literature. Including active programs and completed or otherwise inactive programs, we identify approximately three dozen initiatives. We describe six criteria for successful pollution trading programs and conside…
