Abstract:
|
The objective of this paper is to analyse the economic impacts of alternative
water policies implemented in the Spanish production system. The methodology uses
two versions of the input-output price model: a competitive formulation and a mark-up
formulation. The input-output framework evaluates the impact of water policy measures
on production prices, consumption prices, intermediate water demand and private
welfare. Our results show that a tax on the water used by sectors considerably reduces
the intermediate water demand, and increases the production and consumption prices.
On the other hand, according to Jevons' paradox, an improvement in technical
efficiency, which leads to a reduction in the water requirements of all sectors and an
increase in water production, increases the amount of water consumed. The combination
of a tax on water and improved technical efficiency takes the pressure off prices and
significantly reduces intermediate water demand. JEL Classification: C67 ; D57 ; Q25.
Keywords: Production prices; Consumption prices; Water uses; Water policy; Water
taxation. |
