Climate change and agriculture: Impacts and adaptation options in South Africa
TL;DR: In this paper, the potential impacts of climate change on global agriculture and explores two alternative adaptation scenarios for South Africa using an updated GTAP-W model, which distinguishes between rainfed and irrigated agriculture and implements water as an explicit factor of production for irrigation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Systematic Review of Water-Economy Modeling Applications
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the increasing demand for water coupled with reduced water availability in many regions of the world is leading to growing water scarcity and calls for implementation of a range of technologica.

Modeling the Impacts of Urbanization and Industrial Transformation on Water Resources in China: An Integrated Hydro-Economic CGE Analysis
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigate the economy-wide impacts of projected urban population growth and economic structural change on water use and allocation in China using a multi-regional CGE (Computable General Equilibrium) model, TERM (The Enormous Regional Model).

Water competition through the ‘water-energy’ nexus: Assessing the economic impacts of climate change in a Mediterranean context
TL;DR: In this article, an integrated modeling approach is developed, where a computable general equilibrium model including raw water as a production factor is linked to TIMES_PT, a bottom-up model of the energy sector.

'Two Million Net New Jobs': A Reconsideration of the Rise in Employment in South Africa, 1995-2003
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated labour market trends in South Africa between October 1995 and March 2003 and found an almost two million net increase in employment, but this increase is likely to have been inflated by changes in data capture and definitions of employment over the years and that the real increase may be considerably less, with a lower bound of approximately 1.4 million jobs.

Anthony Letsoalo,Anthony Letsoalo,James Nelson Blignaut,Theuns de Wet,Martin de Wit,S.M. Hess,Richard S.J. Tol,Jan van Heerden +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a computable general equilibrium model is applied to analyze the triple dividend of water consumption charges in South Africa: reduced water use, more rapid economic growth, and a more equal income distribution.

Impacts of water reallocation: A combined computable general equilibrium and recreation demand model approach
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors combine a CGE model with a recreation demand model to analyze the temporal effects of reallocating water from agriculture to recreational use, showing that the increase in non-agricultural output does not offset the reduction in agricultural output due to water withdrawal.
