An Evaluation of the Virginia Nutrient Credit Trading Program
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Stephenson,   Kurt; Aultman,   Stephen; Shabman,   Leonard A.
Federal and state regulatory agencies frequently support and encourage the use of market-based effluent trading to achieve social water quality goals. This paper evaluates the design of the recently approved Virginia Nutrient Trading Program. The cost implications of setting a near limit of technology point source cap and requiring new and expanding sources to meet specific technology-based performance standards are examined.

ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY REFORM: A TAXONOMY OF ECONOMISTS' PERSPECTIVES
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Shabman,   Leonard A.; Stephenson,   Kurt.
As the environmental policy recommendations of economists become more acceptable, differences in the professional understanding of, and support for, different policy forms are becoming more apparent. These different approaches to environmental policy and research are described around a taxonomy of four perspectives: "rational analysts," "cost analysts", "market managers," and "free market environmentalists." These perspectives are compared and contrasted. Recognition of these differences can result in a better appreciation of the different research agendas of economists and can improve clarity in teaching and policy advising.

CARBON CREDIT POTENTIAL FROM INTENSIVE ROTATIONAL GRAZING UNDER CARBON CREDIT CERTIFICATION PROTOCOLS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Stephenson,   Kurt; Bosch,   Darrell J.; Groover,   Gordon E.
Rotational grazing can potentially reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from animal operations.  This study investigates potential GHG reductions from rotational grazing farm operations under alternative procedures for defining a carbon credit.  As applied to a case study cow-calf operation, GHG emission credits did not differ substantially under different definitions of entity boundaries. The choice of accounting metric used to report credits (mass load versus load per unit of output), however, would dramatically influence whether a farm would benefit financially from a future market in carbon credits.

The Use and Opportunity of Cooperative Organizational Forms as an Innovative Regulatory Tool Under the Clean Water Act
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Stephenson,   Kurt; Shabman,   Leonard A.
Numerous reforms to introduce financial incentives and flexibility into the Clean Water Act have been proposed.  Cooperative organizational forms that consolidate multiple regulated entities under a single organizational umbrella are an overlooked, but potentially useful avenue for reform. In concept, these new organizational forms would function much like a farmer cooperative – using coordination and consolidation to lower input costs to its members. Illustrations of how cooperative organizational forms can be used to lower costs and enhance regulatory flexibility in both the water quality and wetland programs are provided.

The Effectiveness of Mandatory and Voluntary Water-Use Restrictions
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Halich,   Greg; Stephenson,   Kurt; Hilmer,   Christiana E.
Local water suppliers are increasingly faced with implementing policies to address temporary water shortages. This analysis estimates the reductions in residential water-use from the implementation of voluntary and mandatory water-use restrictions programs in Virginia.  The level of information and enforcement was found to have a significant influence on the magnitude of water use reductions.

Agricultural Nutrient Nonpoint Source Credits: A Comparison of State Crediting Procedures
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Latane,   Annah; Stephenson,   Kurt.
This paper compares agricultural nonpoint source crediting procedures between the Pennsylvania and Virginia nutrient trading programs.   Differences in farm-level credit production across states will be evaluated for agricultural operations, holding nutrient reduction technologies constant. The implications for the agricultural sector and water quality are discussed.

COMMAND-AND-CONTROL OR EFFLUENT ALLOWANCE MARKETS: ROLES OF ECONOMIC ANALYSIS
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Speir,   Cameron; Stephenson,   Kurt; Shabman,   Leonard A.
Economists and economic analysis can play different roles in the development of water quality management programs.  Economists may develop cost analysis for improving regulatory program implementation or design institutional arrangements for market-like program.  We argue that cost analysis may be incompatible with effective advocacy for market-like systems.

The Contribution of Nonmarket Valuation to Policy: The Case of Nonfederal Hydropower Relicensing
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Stephenson,   Kurt; Shabman,   Leonard A.
The contribution of nonmarket valuation studies to decisions about the operation of nonfederal hydroelectric facilities is examined. Hydropower licensing reforms by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to better weigh market and nonmarket tradeoffs did not require or use nonmarket valuation. License negotiation processes are interpreted as a substitute for valuation.

NONPOINT SOURCE AND CARBON SEQUESTRATION CREDIT TRADING: WHAT CAN THE TWO LEARN FROM EACH OTHER?
Provedor de dados: 31
Autores: Stephenson,   Kurt; Bosch,   Darrell J.
Emission trading programs have been discussed with respect to achieving water quality objectives and future caps on carbon emissions.  A significant part of this literature explores the institutional and technical design issues associated with trades involving nonpoint effluent sources and carbon sequestration.  This paper explores conceptual linkages between the nonpoint and carbon sequestration programs and identifies potential areas where cross fertilization can benefit research and policy design of trading programs for environmental protection.
