Abstract

En este articulo analizamos las ganancias potenciales en bienestar asociadas al establecimiento de un mercado de derechos sobre aqua para uso agricola. Frente a la tradicional asignacion administrativa del recurso, los intercambios voluntarios de derechos entre los distintos sectores agricolas confieren la flexibilidad necesaria para hacer frente a las sequias ciclicas que caracterizan el regimen hidrico de Baleares. Para simular el funcionamiento del mercado propuesto hemos contruido un Modelo de Equilibrio General Computable (CGE) que intenta aproximarse a la estructura economica y a la problematica hidrologica de Baleares. Los resultados obtenidos muestran como una reasignacion de los derechos sobre aqua entre los distinctos cultivos, puede, en primer lugar, aumentar la eficiencia asignativa y en el uso del recurso y, en segundo lugar, producir efectos ergionales positivos en terminos de empleo y renta agricola. Con todo ello, pretendemos mostrar, ademas, las posibilidades de aplicacion de los modelos de equilibrio general en el campo de la gestion hidraulica...We analyse the potential welfare gains of an agricultural water rights market. Compared to the traditional administrative allocation, the voluntary water exchanges between different agricultural sectors allow enough flexibility to cope with the cyclical draughts characteristic of the Balearic hydrological regime. To simulate the market an Applied General Equilibrium (CGE) model for the Balearic Islands is used. The simulations show that the reallocation of water rights between the different crops makes the use and allocation of the resource more efficient. Moreover, the regional effects in terms of agricultural income and employment are positive. In broad terms, this paper of illustration of the applicability of the general equilibrium models to the water management.
