This project relates to the delivery of evidence to inform freshwater allocation policy at a national level. The aim is for the analysis to inform advice to the government on a review of the freshwater allocation framework in late 2017. This analysis is a central part of the freshwater allocation work stream as it will directly test possible allocation policy options against economic efficiency criteria.

We need to quantify the economic implications of different possible central government policy approaches (e.g. transferable permits, pricing, or administrative allocation and re-allocation) to allocate fresh water and assimilative capacity at a national level (or for multiple regions). The analysis needs to quantify the aggregate direct costs or benefits water users are likely to experience from changes in allocation policy. Water users include, but are not limited to, irrigators (current and potential), landowners, holders of Maori-owned land and municipal water providers.
The analysis will be broken down into two main components:
• Component A: National economic analysis
• Component B: Land/water use modelling

This RFP relates to the purchase of quantitative analysis on the direct economic implications for water users (including potential future users) and the distribution of these implications on different groups of water users from different allocation policy approaches. Water users include, but are not limited to, irrigators (current and potential), landowners, holders of Maori-owned land and municipal water providers. Possible policy approaches could feature transferable permits, pricing, or administrative allocation and re-allocation with varying degrees of national direction.
