Minimising transaction costs in Murray-Darling Basin water reform

交易成本为澳大利亚水资源再分配政策的有效性提供了社会、经济、环境和政治障碍。这些成本通常很难量化，但可能需要衡量。该项目旨在为默里-达林盆地制定一个全面的交易成本框架，可用来收集和衡量与水政策有关的交易成本。此外，成本计量的范围将涉及各种数据收集方法。成果包括更好的水政策和管理，这些安排将跨越流域计划及其执行之间的鸿沟。

Transaction costs provide social, economic, environmental and political barriers to the effectiveness of water reallocation policy in Australia. These costs are often difficult to quantify, but potentially are subject to measurement. This project aims to develop a comprehensive transaction cost framework for the Murray-Darling Basin that can be used to capture and measure transaction costs related to water policy. Further, the scope of the cost measurement will involve a variety of data collection approaches. Outcomes include better water policy and management from arrangements that will span the divide between the Basin Plan and its implementation.
