The Economics of Water-Rules and Institutions

The Economics of Water: Rules and Institutions by Georg Meran, Markus Siehlow, and Christian von Hirschhausen explores the economic principles governing water management and the institutions that shape its use. The book examines the allocation of water resources, the pricing mechanisms, and the role of regulation in ensuring sustainable water use. It also delves into the challenges posed by scarcity, climate change, and increasing demand, proposing solutions through institutional reforms and economic policies. With a focus on the intersection of economics and environmental sustainability, the book provides insights into how rules and institutions can address the global water crisis.
