Hydro-economic models: concepts, design, applications, and future prospects. (2009, background): “When the price of water reflects its true marginal cost, including environmental externalities and other opportunity costs, the resource will be put to its most valuable uses (Rogers et al., 2002).”
The Global Dimension of Water Governance: Why the River Basin Approach Is No Longer Sufficient and Why Cooperative Action at Global Level Is Needed (2010, background): “At local level, that of the consumer, water use efficiency can be improved by: Charging prices based on full marginal cost [78]; stimulating water-saving techniques in farming such as water recycling, drip irrigation and the use of drought-resistant crop varieties [79,80]; promoting the use of water”
Neoliberalizing Nature? Market Environmentalism in Water Supply in England and Wales (2005, background): “Although market environmentalism is not monolithic and varies with the type of resource, jurisdiction, socioeconomic framework, and cultural setting, several general characteristics can be identified ( Winpenny 1994 ; Cesano and Gustafsson 2000 ; Gleick 2000 ; Saleth and Dinar 2000 ; Rogers, de ”
Efficiency, equity, and sustainability in a water quantity-quality optimization model in the Rio Grande basin (2008, background): “3 Policy Aims 3.1 Efficiency When water is priced at its real marginal cost, including environmental externalities and other opportunity costs, it is put to its highest economically-valued uses (Rogers et al., 2002; Young, 1996).”
Assessing marginal water values in multipurpose multireservoir systems via stochastic programming (2008, methodology): “Since irrigation return flows are considered in the water balance equation, the water value calculated by the SDDP model has two of the five components listed by Rogers et al. [2002] : the marginal value of product and the benefits from return flows.”
Evolving water science in the Anthropocene (2013, background): “In the monetary interpretation of "water as an economic good", however, the valuation of ecosystem services in monetary terms became imperative (Rogers et al., 1998, 2002; Rogers and Leal, 2010).”
Hydro-economic Modeling in River Basin Management: Implications and Applications for the European Water Framework Directive (2007, background): “Water pricing is a basic instrument for managing water demands and can promote equity, efficiency, and sustainability ( Rogers et al. 2002 ).”
