In this thesis, water sale and lease prices for environmental and non-environmental purposes are estimated and compared for the states of Arizona, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming. Factors hypothesized to affect water demand and prices in these states include per capita income, population, development pressure, climate conditions, the new use of the water, and the state in which the transaction occurred. The trend in price dispersion over time is also examined.Type
