Environmental economics and the Murray-Darling river system
Get PDFMuch concern about the negative environmental consequences of agricultural development in Australia, including salinisation, waterlogging and algal blooms, has focused on the problems of the Murray–Darling Basin. The aim of this article is to provide an overview of the environmental problems of the Murray–Darling Basin from an economic perspective, and a selective survey of the relevant economic literature, including theoretical analysis, modelling and contributions to the development of water policy. In attempting to understand the complex problems of the Murray–Darling Basin, an eclectic approach drawing on externality, sustainability and property rights perspectives seems most appropriate.Environmental Economics and Policy, Resource /Energy Economics and Policy,

Buying Back the Living Murray: At What Price?
Get PDFIn June 2004 the Council of Australian Governments approved the Intergovernmental Agreement on Addressing Water Overallocation and Achieving Environmental Objectives in the Murray-Darling Basin (‘IGMDB’). The IGMDB set out arrangements for a ‘Living Murray’ that includes a budget of $500 million to return 500 billion litres of water per year to the Murray River by 2009. Unfortunately, two years later and only 11 billion litres have been returned as environmental flows as a result of the initiative. In response, the Australian Government in April 2006 proposed a new scheme to purchase water entitlements from farmers who undertake water-savings measures. We examine this proposal in relation to the general economic principles for the allocation of scarce water. We contend that the latest initiative, although helpful, suffers from two fundamental problems in terms of water pricing. First, the current market price for water entitlements does not include the value of water ‘in situ’, or the benefits it generates separate from its value in consumption. Second, the constraint imposed that water users undertake infrastructure investments when selling their entitlements unnecessarily raises the cost of returning water to the Murray River. We conclude that the latest scheme to achieve the laudable goals of the ‘Living Murray’ is not cost effective and that the ratio of litres of water returned to dollars spent could be much higher if the pricing policies were changed.Living Murray, scarce water, water entitlements, water pricing, pricing policies

Murray State University Faculty Handbook 2019-20
Get PDFThe Faculty Handbook is designed to provide members of the faculty access to basic information relating to policies, procedures, and regulations that are important to them as teaching personnel employed at Murray State University. The Faculty Handbook does not refer to all policies and procedures at the university, but references those which are relevant to faculty. While the Faculty Handbook will provide information on many aspects of the university, faculty members are expected to be familiar with the contents of the Faculty Handbook, the Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual, the Staff Handbook, the University Academic Bulletin, and all student life policies found in the Student Handbook.
University policies adopted by the Board of Regents are identified within the Handbook by placing the date each policy was adopted in parentheses following the policy title. Amendments or additions approved by the President or the Board of Regents become effective by directive of the President. As university policies and procedures are modified and developed, revisions and additions will be made to the handbook as quickly as possible. A concerted effort is made to keep faculty informed of such changes. New faculty members will be given an electronic copy of the Faculty Handbook at the time of their employment and current faculty shall receive notice of new or amended Faculty Handbook policies within 30 days of final approval by the President or the Board of Regents (see Section 1.7.5)
