Irrigation Full Cost Assessment: The case of the Pinios Local Organization for Land Reclamation, Greece

RePEc: Research Papers in Economics (2013)

Athanasios Kampas Anna Vasilaki Athanasios Petsakos Αngeliki Stefopoulou

The paper presents a rapid assessment of irrigation full cost of the Pinios Local Organization for Land Reclamation. The individual cost components (financial, environmental and resource) were estimated using the best available data and sound methodological choices. On the basis of our estimates it seems that water scarcity and its corresponding resource cost is quite important issue to be ignored. The scarcity rents falls within a range from 21% to 39% of water full cost, while the environmental cost is about 8%. The policy implications of these results are also discussed.

Economic complexity and the environment: some estimates on their links

International Journal of Sustainable Agricultural Management and Informatics (2020)

Georgios Kosifakis Athanasios Kampas Christos T. Papadas

The concept of economic complexity and the relevant economic complexity index (ECI) have been introduced in the theory and empirics of economic growth. As a consequence, the literature on economic complexity covers its relationship with several factors related to growth including environmental implications. Using traditional non-parametric statistics methods, the study investigates again the relationship between economic complexity and per capita incomes, and the relationship between economic complexity and the environment. Environmental variables used are the environmental performance index (EPI), the per capita ecological footprint of consumption, EFcpc and the per capita ecological footprint of production, EFppc. The relationships are studied for a large set of economies as a whole, and for countries of two different levels of development, as measured by the human development index (HDI). Results confirm the positive relationship between per capita incomes and economic complexity while those with regards to environmental implications depend on the environmental index chosen and the level of development. Economic complexity is positively associated with the strain on the environment shown by the ecological footprints, but positively associated also with the environmental performance of policies given by the EPI.

Price induced water irrigation: Unraveling conflicts and synergies between European agricultural and water policies

RePEc: Research Papers in Economics (2010)

Athanasios Kampas Athanasios Petsakos Stélios Rozakis

The 2003 CAP reform considerably affects cropping patterns in European agriculture. At the same time the imperatives of the forthcoming Water Framework Directive (WFD) is expected to modify irrigation decisions especially in Southern Europe where irrigated agriculture utilizes about 70-80% of total water. This paper examines the combined effect of CAP reform and the application of likely volumetric water pricing on water demand by taking into account three drivers of change, namely extensive margin changes, intensive margin changes and irrigation technology shift. For low rates of water prices, CAP reform contradicts the WFD objectives since it leads to cropping patterns that consume more water resources. On the contrary, as water prices increase, decoupling and water pricing display a synergistic effect on water conservation. Finally, decoupling substantially increases the efficiency of water pricing in terms of water conservation. As a result, the post CAP reform regime clearly dominates the prior CAP reform regime when an index of value for money water conservation is examined.

Interactions between Democracy and Environmental Quality: Toward a More Nuanced Understanding

Sustainability (2019)

Katarzyna Iwińska Athanasios Kampas Kerry Longhurst

This paper seeks to contribute to existing debates on the relationship between democracy and environmental quality. More specifically, we aim to provide nuance and insight into the question as to whether democratic regimes are better equipped to protect the environment. After critically reviewing theoretical arguments and providing an overview of existing empirical studies, the paper proposes an approach which consists of the use of non-parametric correlations between democracy and environmental quality, and a consideration of the interactions between democracy, government effectiveness, economic prosperity, and perceptions of corruption. Crucially, we show that, although a positive correlation can be found between levels of democracy and environmental quality, the picture is somewhat blurred if data are stratified using criteria such as government effectiveness and corruption perceptions. Consequently, the main argument the paper pursues is that, to assess the relationship between democracy and environmental quality, intervening factors and their effects need to be acknowledged and taken into account.
