Prevention, Eradication, and Containment of Invasive Species: Illustrations from Hawaii
Kimberly Burnett, Brooks Kaiser, Basharat A. Pitafi, James Roumasset
Invasive species change ecosystems and the economic services such ecosystems provide. Optimal policy will minimize the expected damages and costs of prevention and control. We seek to explain policy...
Integrated management of multiple aquifers with subsurface flows and inter-district water transport
Pitafi, Basharat A., Roumasset, James A.
Many places, including the island of Oahu in Hawaii, have a number of groundwater aquifers. Consumers located in one aquifer area can be supplied from water extracted and transported from another...
Integrated Prevention and Control of Invasive Species
Pitafi, Basharat A., Roumasset, James A.
An emerging problem for environmental policy is how to design efficient strategies for the prevention and control of invasive species. However, the literature has mostly focused either on...
EFFICIENT GROUNDWATER PRICING AND WATERSHED CONSERVATION FINANCE: THE HONOLULU CASE
Pitafi, Basharat A., Roumasset, James A.
Several studies have documented that intertemporal water allocation in Hawaii (as elsewhere) is inefficient (see e.g., Moncur et. al., 1998). The result is widely expected to be early depletion of...
WATERSHED CONSERVATION AND EFFICIENT GROUNDWATER PRICING
Roumasset, James A., Pitafi, Basharat A.
Conserving the watershed can help to preserve the groundwater supplies by avoiding loss of recharge. Preventing overuse of available water through pricing reforms can also substantially increase...

Pareto-Improving Water Management over Space and Time: The Honolulu Case
Basharat A. Pitafi, James A. Roumasset
We model welfare gains from efficient allocation of groundwater over space and time relative to the status quo policy of financial cost recovery. In order to promote political feasibility, an...
