What Drives the Reuse of Municipal Wastewater? A County-Level Analysis of Florida
分析了佛罗里达州县级废水再利用数据，发现水质量和水稀缺条件（表现为降水频率低、变异性大）都影响废水再利用能力，但水质量的影响更稳健。
We analyze a unique dataset of county-level water reuse in Florida to determine whether water quality or scarcity concerns drive greater adoption of water reuse practices. Using dynamic panel data methods, we find that a county’s water reuse capacity is influenced by water quality conditions as well as water scarcity conditions, where scarcity is manifested as less frequent and more variable precipitation. However, our identification of the water quality effect is more robust to the choice of model specification compared to our water scarcity results. <i></i>
