Underlining Concept:
Sustainable Development
Sustainable development (SD) is a
pattern of resource use that aims to
meet human needs while preserving
the environment so that these needs
can be met not only in the present,
but also for future generations.
5
Triple goal of SD over
space (i) and time (t)



Environmental/ Ecological Sustainability
(ecosystem resilience, resource-specific
equilibrium)
Economic Sustainability (economic
efficiency by economic sector)
Social Sustainability (affordability & equity
by income group)

15
Hedonic Valuation Method (HVM)
A resource can be defined in terms of services it yields or an `attribute' it
embodies. This attribute may be embodied in other goods or assets which are
marketed, and which do have observable prices. Using these prices you can
derive economic value.
E.g: Farm prices in an area with good groundwater are most likely higher than in an area
without either ground- or surface water. Comparing differences in farm prices across a
region and controlling for other influences, then the difference in prices of these farms
would lie in groundwater access.
Problems:
-Only capable of measuring the subset of use values that people are WTP for
through the related market.
- If consumers are not fully informed about the qualities of the attributes being
valued, hedonic price estimates are of little relevance.
16
Travel Cost Method (TCM)
Infers the value of a set of attributes from expenditure (time and
money spent on the trip) on outdoor recreational facilities or visits to
nature reserves.
E.g: Valuing the effects on the demand for recreation of a change in
water quality in a river.
Problems:
- Capable of measuring the subset of values that people are WTP for in the
related market.
- Very few applications outside resource-based recreational amenities.
- Data-intensive.
- What value should be assigned to time costs of travel?
- Statistical problems & sample bias.
17
Averting Behavior Method
(ABM)
Use of expenditures undertaken by households that are designated to
offset an environmental risk, in order to infer WTP for avoiding
environmental degradation.
E.g: Use of water filters.
Problems:
- Limited to cases where households spend money to offset
environmental hazards.
- Insufficient studies to comment on convergent validity.
18
Residual Analysis Method
(RAM)
Values all inputs for the good produced at their market price – except for
the water itself. The remaining value of the good, after all other inputs
are accounted for, is then attributed to the water input.
E.g: Valuing water as an input in production of different crops.
Problems:
- Only part of use-value of water can be captured.
- Market imperfections can bias valuation estimates.
19
Contingent Valuation Method
(CVM)
CVM relies on a constructed, hypothetical market to produce monetary
estimates of value. The value of an environmental resource to an
individual is expressed as:
- Maximum Willingness-to-Pay (WTP)
- Minimum Willingness-to-Accept (WTA, Compensation)
E.g: Conduct survey to obtain peoples’ bids (either WTP or WTAC) for a
specified change in the quality of water in a river, contingent upon the description
of a hypothetical market where water quality is traded.
Problems:
- Interviewing bias
- Strategic bias
- Hypothetical bias
- Non-response bias
- Yea-saying bias
- Information bias
20
Choice Experiment Method
(CEM)
CEM is a survey-based technique which can estimate the total economic
value of an environmental stock/flow or service and the value of its attributes,
as well as the value of more complex changes in several attributes.
E.g: Each respondent is presented with a series of alternatives of the
environmental stock/flow or service with varying levels of its price and nonprice attributes and asked to choose their most preferred option in each set of
alternatives.
Problems:
- Simplified version of reality … but CEM eliminates or minimises several of
the CVM problems (e.g. strategic bias, yea-saying bias, embedding effects).
21
Operational at the policy level?
Question: How can these methods be made operational in the
context of the development of groundwater management strategies
at the policy level?
Answer: Recent years have seen a growing interest in the potential
for producing generally applicable models for the valuation of nonmarket environmental goods and services, which do not rely upon
expensive and time-consuming original survey work, but rather
extrapolate results from previous studies of similar assets.
This approach is called meta-analysis for the use and non-use
values generated by environmental resources.
22
Meta-Analysis Method (MAM)
Meta-analysis is the statistical analysis of the summary of findings of
empirical studies: i.e. the statistical analysis of a large collection of
results from individual studies for the purpose of integrating the
findings.
E.g: Freshwater fishing meta-analysis of valuation studies.
Meta-analytical research seems to have been principally triggered by:
- Increases in the available number of environmental valuation studies.
- Seemingly large differences in valuation outcomes as a result of use of
different research designs.
23
Environmental BenefitsTransfer



Transposing monetary environmental values estimated at one
site (study site) to another (policy site).
Values must be adjusted to reflect site specific features.
When time or resources are limited, this provides an alternative
to conducting a valuation study. Using meta-analysis for benefits
transfer has advantages.
E.g: Environmental Valuation Reference Inventory (www.evri.ca)
Problems
- May involve bias
- Validity and reliability issues




Consider three possibilities of evolution of population.
Consider two possibilities of evolution of demography of other cities in the region.
Consider possible evolution of rural population.
2
Build scenarios using basic assumptions and quantify the water balance with these assumptions.
3
Apply step two over time.
4
Based on steps 1,2,3, imagine a plot that tells the story of the system from now until at least
2030, giving consistency to the assumptions and water balance curves.
27
How to apply the ‘Baseline scenario’?
Starting from initial
status it is possible
to elaborate a
baseline scenario.
The baseline scenario
refers to the situation
without doing
anything else than
planned today.

costs; burden of proof
Step3_B. Assessment of Cost of Measures
- Estimate a range of costs along with key
parameters influencing costs over time (cost
change with developments in sectors).
- Allocate costs of measures to water users and
identify winners and losers, in order to potentially
feed into the analysis of disproportionate costs to
justify derogation (Step3._D).
40
Step3_C. Impact of Measures on Key
Economic Sectors/Uses

-

-

Net impacts on public expenditures and revenues: e.g.
impacts on expenditures for agri-environment schemes
revenues of economic instruments
impacts of changes in the prices charged for publicly owned
water services.
Wider economic and social impacts: e.g.
significant changes in patterns of employment
economic impacts on industries & local economic development
from changes in the price of water supply, level of
discharges and water quality.
Effects on the retail price index and inflation.
41
Step3_D.
Disproportionate Costs/Derogation
Important for
budget-constrained
developing countries!
Disproportionality
If the achievement of good water status has
significant adverse effects on the wider environment
& human activities.

Measures to improve water
quality are expensive
If the beneficial objectives served by the artificial
or modified characteristics cannot reasonably be
achieved by other means.

Heavily Modified Water bodies
Water bodies substantially changed in character
as a result of physical alterations by human activity.
Less stringent
objectives
Time derogation
!! Disproportionality is a political judgment informed by economic information: CBA
- Disproportionality does not begin when measured costs exceed quantifiable benefits.
- The margin of excess costs should be appreciable & have a high level of confidence.
- Disaggregated analysis to the level of separate socio-economic groups and
sectors is needed, especially if the ability to pay is an issue for a particular group.
42
Step3_D. CBA: Cost-Benefit Analysis
Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) is an economic tool for government
policy and investment project analysis used widely.
Can incorporate environmental impacts of policies/projects within
CBA to correct for market failure
“Social” appraisal of policies and projects, carried out by
aggregation of benefits from, and costs of a policy/project over
individuals and over time
Welfare theoretic underpinning: Economic efficiency with a
temporal dimension
43
CBA Steps

Stage 1: Definition of policy/project:



The reallocation of resources being proposed
The population of gainers and losers being
considered
Stage 2: Identification of policy/project
impacts:


Define all impacts that will result from
policy/project implementation
Consider additionality (net impacts) and
displacement (crowding out)
44
CBA Steps

Stage 3: Identification of economically relevant impacts:
Environmental impacts of a policy/project are relevant in
CBA if either


They change the utility of at least one person in the society
They change the quantity or quality of the output of some
positively valued commodity
Stage 4: Physical quantification of relevant impacts:



Determine physical amounts of costs and benefits and when
they occur in time
Use environmental impact analysis to estimate the impact of
policy/project on the environment
Estimations will be made with uncertainty, calculate the
expected value of costs and benefits
45
CBA Steps

Stage 5: Monetary valuation of relevant
effects



All physical measures of impacts should be
valued in common units to be comparable
Common unit = money
CBA analyst must



Predict prices for value flows extending into the
future
Correct market prices where they are distorted
Calculate prices where non exists using environmental
valuation methods
46
CBA Steps
Stage 6: Discounting of costs and benefits:




Once costs and benefits are expressed in
monetary units they should be converted to
present value terms by discounting
PV= Xt[(1+r)-t] where X= cost or benefit; r =
discount rate; [(1+r)-t] discount factor; t= time
The higher the value of t the lower the
discount factor
The higher the discount rate for a given t the
lower the discount factor
47
CBA Steps

Stage 7:Applying the net present value test:

Apply NPV test to choose those policies and projects that are
efficient in terms of their use of resources
Bt  Ct 

t
t  0 1  r 
n



Where Bt = benefits of the project at period t, Ct = the costs
of the project at period t, r = the discount rate, n = the number
of years over which the project will operate
NPV is the present value of the project’s/policy’s net benefit
stream, obtained by discounting the stream of net benefits
produced by the project/policy over its lifetime, back to its
value in the chosen base period, usually the present.
If NPV>0 accept policy or project (Based in Kaldor-Hicks
Criterion) since it would improve social welfare
48
Is Discounting so straight
forward?
‘Humanity has the ability to make development sustainable: to ensure
that it meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability
of future generations to meet their own needs.’ WCED, 1987
‘There is something awkward about discounting benefits that arise a
century hence. For even at a modest discount rate, no investment will
look worthwhile.‘
The Economist (1991), March 23, p 73
In the decade since that comment in The Economist, the nature of the
problem with long-run discounting has become clearer.
49
The Need for Time Declining
Social Discount Rate…
There are powerful reasons for choosing a declining social time
preference rate. This conclusion is supported by robust recent
theoretical work, which has taken several different approaches
to the subject.
Although there is a paucity of empirical evidence on the pattern
of that rate's decline, it may be better to use those data, which
are available rather than to continue practicing discounting
with non-declining rate in the long term. The data best suited
the policy-makers' need were produced by Newell & Prizer
(2003) and Koundouri et al (2005).

Case Study: Floods Defense



Over the last ten years, flood-defence investment has
been characterized by annual expenditure that has been
assumed to offset significant damage; i.e., a cost–benefit
ratio much greater than unity.
Stochastic model designed to assess the costs and
benefits of investment in a particular cell (protected
area) of flood defences for Shrewsbury for the
Environment Agency.
The model determines the net benefit of investment by
comparing the damage suffered in a ‘do nothing’ scenario,
with damages in the case where 100-year flood defences
have been constructed. The benefits can then be
compared with the costs of constructing and maintaining
the defences.
