商品描述

This book deals with the economic modelling of water at the global, national and sub-national levels. It presents a multi-faceted analysis and, while it outlines the theories behind various models, its main purpose is to analyse policy issues and present insights arising from modelling, including a chapter analysing the macroeconomic implications of climate change.  Arguably the most compelling reason for publishing a book on the economic modelling of water arises from the fact that agriculture accounts for approximately 70% of water used for economic purposes, while only contributing 4% of global income. Given that water is an essential commodity, this discrepancy may in part be symptomatic of an undervaluation of water due to immature and incomplete markets. In turn, this undervaluation has led to an ongoing misallocation of water. When economic models include water accounts that feed into production functions, they model impacts on the marginal product of water. Policies that improve the link between the marginal product and price of water will improve water allocation, while advanced economic models such as those presented here can enhance our ability to explore the possible impacts of improved policy.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

本書探討全球、國家及次國家層級的水資源經濟模型。它提供了多面向的分析，雖然概述了各種模型背後的理論，但其主要目的是分析政策議題並呈現從模型中產生的見解，包括一章分析氣候變遷的宏觀經濟影響。可以說，出版一本關於水資源經濟模型的書籍最具說服力的理由在於，農業約佔經濟用途水資源的70%，但僅貢獻全球收入的4%。考慮到水是一種基本商品，這種差異在某種程度上可能是水資源因市場不成熟和不完整而被低估的症狀。反過來，這種低估導致了水資源的持續錯配。當經濟模型包含進入生產函數的水資源賬戶時，它們會模擬水的邊際產品的影響。改善水的邊際產品與價格之間聯繫的政策將改善水資源的配置，而本書所呈現的先進經濟模型可以增強我們探索改善政策可能影響的能力。

作者簡介

Glyn Wittwer is a Professorial Fellow at the Centre of Policy Studies (CoPS), Victoria University, Melbourne, Australia. He was one of the main developers of TERM (The Enormous Regional Model, a multi-regional computable general equilibrium (CGE) model devised by Professor Mark Horridge) and was the first to develop a dynamic version of TERM. He has also created versions of TERM for China and the USA. Although he has spent much time in model development at the CoPS, his main task is applying CGE models to policy issues. In addition, he has undertaken a number of projects examining the economic impacts of urban water supply augmentation.

Glyn Wittwer 是澳大利亞墨爾本維多利亞大學政策研究中心 (Centre of Policy Studies, CoPS) 的教授研究員。他是 TERM（The Enormous Regional Model，一個由 Mark Horridge 教授設計的多區域可計算一般均衡 (CGE) 模型）的主要開發者之一，並且是第一位開發 TERM 動態版本的人。他還為中國和美國創建了 TERM 的版本。儘管他在 CoPS 花了很多時間進行模型開發，但他的主要任務是將 CGE 模型應用於政策問題。此外，他還進行了多個項目，研究城市供水增強的經濟影響。
