    In New Zealand, regional councils have the task of sustainably managing rivers andtheir flows. In trying to achieve this task they face enormous challenges including theneed to allocate flows amongst often highly disparate in- (e.g., angling, kayaking,native fish and birds) and out-of-river (e.g., irrigation and hydro energy) values/needs.To aid in this task these councils need to know which rivers or parts of rivers arerelatively more or less important on national, regional and local bases, for particularvalues.

    This paper examines the Waikato River Agreement in Principle by considering the implications of accommodating cultural values in natural resource management for the Waikato River and New Zealand. Economics will continue to play an integral part in the management of the Waikato River and natural resources in New Zealand. The settlement provides an opportunity to rethink how to incorporate Maori knowledge, cultural and social relationships, and social, cultural, and economic wellbeing in an integrated, holistic, and coordinated approach.

    The dairy industry is a major contributor to both the New Zealand economy as a whole and to the Waikato regional economy in particular. The industry is experiencing a period of considerable change, with increases in dairy conversion, increased intensification, and increasing use of nitrogen fertilisers, each of which has an associated environmental cost. In this paper the productivity performance of the mature dairy industry in the Waikato region is investigated, using panel data at the sub-regional level from 1994 to 2007.

    New Zealand is atypical among the Annex I parties within the Kyoto Protocol with agriculture forming a large part of greenhouse gas emissions and planted forests sequestering large amounts of carbon. This presentation will summarise the methods and data used to estimate flows of greenhouse gases within agriculture and planted forests in New Zealand’s National Inventory Report submission to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change last April. 2009 projections for the first commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol (2008-2012) will also be presented and discussed.

    Infrastructure systems and services (ISS) are vulnerable to changes in climate. This paper reports on a study of the impact of gradual climate changes on ISS in Hamilton City, New Zealand. This study is unique in that it is the first of its kind to be applied to New Zealand ISS. This study also considers a broader range of ISS than most other climate change studies recently conducted. Using historical climate data and four climate change scenarios, we modelled the impact of climate change on water supply and quality, transport, energy demand, public health and air quality.

    Implementation of a New Zealand Emission Trading Scheme (NZ ETS) will begin in 2008, beginning withforestry, subsequently including energy and industrial emissions, and finally, agricultural GHGs from2013. Reducing agricultural emissions is a major challenge for New Zealand as they account for over halfits total GHG emissions. On the other hand, agriculture is critical to the economy, with its basic andprocessed products accounting for a third of exports. We use an environmental input-output model toanalyse direct and indirect cost impacts of emissions pricing on food and fibre sectors.

    The population in New Zealand is expected to increase to over five million by themid 2020’s from the current level of 4.3 million (Statistics New Zealand, 2009). Anincreasing demand for primary produce as a result may put pressure on marginal land tobe farmed. Understanding the economic value of avoided erosion in New Zealand istherefore an important factor in policy making to optimise the soil related activities in theeconomy. Establishing a methodology for estimating the economic value of avoided soilerosion is the first step in assessing the problem.

    In an attempt to value soil natural capital, we use the inherent characteristics of soil and land valuation data to examine the relationship between soil characteristics and rural farmland values in the 6000ks2 Manawatu catchment in New Zealand. The study applies a hedonic pricing method to determine if the value of ‘critical’ inherent characteristics of soils are reflected in land values.

    This paper is based on an econometric model of the New Zealand meat export trade for the period 1990-2003. The model is known as a gravity model because it describes trade flows as being balanced between the respective pull of domestic and importing country size and incomes. The meat trade is characterised by strict hygiene regulations, quota markets and tariff charges in different markets. In addition, meat is not a homogeneous commodity but is characterised by breed, cut and presentation, and differentiated market destinations.

    Biosecurity incursion response decisions require timely, high quality informationinvolving science and economics. The value of the impact on indigenous biodiversityis a key aspect of the economics typically involving cost-benefit analysis. Thehypothetical incursion of Biosecurity New Zealand’s top priority weed hydrilla(Hydrilla verticillata) in a typical New Zealand lake (Lake Rotoroa otherwise knownas Hamilton Lake) elicits dollar values of impacts on indigenous biodiversity in afreshwater environment.
