内容简介：

Climate change will have significant and  heterogeneous impacts on water availability throughout the world. While higher  latitudes are expected to receive increased rainfall, lower latitudes are  projected to experience a decline in overall precipitation. This will lead to  longer periods of drought and increased water stress, as the agricultural,  energy, and residential sectors extract more water from ground and surface  reserves to combat exposure to extreme heat and dryness. In this paper, we  will estimate the implicit price of water using a production function and a  quantitative spatial equilibrium model. We will then examine the economic  impact of changes in water availability, including precipitation shocks and  changes in groundwater and surface water stocks, on the global economy.  Additionally, we will investigate the role of reallocation and global trade in  adapting to changes in water availability.
