Efficiency of Viable Groundwater Management Policies
研究在空间详细的地下水模型中评估简单政策的效率，发现本地化政策比统一政策更高效且更受欢迎，对水资源管理者有参考价值。
We investigate the relative performance of simple groundwater policies in a spatially detailed aquifer and reveal the distribution of net benefits from those policies. Groundwater policy is plagued with a high level of complexity in achieving the first best outcome, which may be costly and politically infeasible to adopt. We parameterize a 8,457-cell spatially detailed model of the northwest Kansas section of the Ogallala Aquifer and find that simple pricing, quantity, and water market policies perform poorly but can be improved upon by localized policies that are more efficient and garner more popular support. <i></i>
