Optimal groundwater management under climate change and technical progress

Quintana Ashwell, Nicolas E.; Peterson, Jeffrey M.; Hendricks, Nathan P. (2018-02)

We develop a dynamic model of groundwater extraction for irrigation where climate change and technical change are included as exogenous state variables in addition to the usual state variable of the stock of groundwater. ...
Potential Benefits from Innovations to Reduce Heat and Water Stress in Agriculture

Hendricks, Nathan P. (2017-11)

A key challenge in determining the optimal research and development (R&D) investment portfolio for adapting to climate change in agriculture is to understand the potential benefits from reducing alternative sources of ...
PRICE REPORTING in A THIN MARKET
