TL;DR: In this article, a choice experiment is employed to estimate the values of changes in several ecological, social and economic functions that Cheimaditida wetland provides to the Greek public.

TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical framework is proposed to analyze the conditions under which a farmer facing production uncertainty and incomplete information will adopt a more efficient irrigation technology, and a reduced form of this model is empirically estimated using a sample of 265 farms located in Crete, Greece.

TL;DR: The role of economic valuation techniques in assisting in the design of efficient, equitable and sustainable policies for water resources management in the face of environmental problems such as pollution, intensive land use in agriculture and climate change is defined.

TL;DR: In this article, the role of information transmission in promoting agricultural technology adoption and diffusion through extension services and social learning is investigated, and a theoretical model is developed, which is then empirically applied, using duration analysis, on a micro-dataset consisting of recall data covering the period 1994-2004 for olive-producing farms from Crete, Greece.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a conceptual framework within which economists examine the elements interacting in the management of groundwater resources, indicate why the role of the market is limited with respect to the price of this very complex resource, and point to the mechanisms that can pull competitive groundwater price and quality-graded quantity of groundwater in line with their equilibrium levels.
