Estimating Operational Costs of Activated Carbon for Water Treatment Plants by Predicting the Rise of Harmful Algal Blooms Under Climate Change in Korea Using Machine Learning

open access: yesWater Environment Research, Volume 98, Issue 3, March 2026.
This study investigated future operational costs in water treatment (WT) plants. Random forest modeling projected 3–5 times more abundant cyanobacteria by 2100 due to climate change. Increased microcystins demanded substantially more activated carbon and, as a result, WT costs could rise to $6–22/household/month.

Grain of the Future: Consumer Demand for Bread Made of Sustainable Perennial Grain Intermediate Wheatgrass

open access: yesAgricultural Economics, Volume 57, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Intermediate wheatgrass (IWG), also known as Kernza, is a perennial grain crop with recognized environmental benefits, including improved water quality, increased soil carbon storage, and enhanced biodiversity. However, despite these advantages, consumer demand for IWG‐based products remains poorly understood, limiting its market potential ...

Cost–benefit analysis and ‘next best’ methods to evaluate the efficiency of social policies: As in pitching horseshoes, closeness matters

open access: yesAnnals of Public and Cooperative Economics, Volume 97, Issue 1, Page 17-41, March 2026.
Abstract Many policymakers are unwilling, or think that it is infeasible, to perform comprehensive cost–benefit analysis (CBA) of programmes in social policy arenas. What principles actually underlie CBA? An understanding is necessary to assess whether other evaluation methods are close enough to CBA to provide useful information on social efficiency ...

Cost–benefit analysis of landfill emergency securing: Two applications in Southern Italy

open access: yesAnnals of Public and Cooperative Economics, Volume 97, Issue 1, Page 183-205, March 2026.
Abstract The systematic use of landfills as a method of waste disposal is leaving a heavy legacy in terms of environmental pollution, especially in the case of illegal or non‐compliant disposal sites. When no environmental precaution is adopted, harmful substances' release imposes relevant health risk to the surrounding population.

From rhetoric to measurement: The economics of wetland conservation

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Agricultural Economics/Revue canadienne d'agroeconomie, Volume 74, Issue 1, Page 56-77, March 2026.
Abstract Wetland conservation continues to be a pressing issue as wetlands continue to be lost due to urban, industrial, and agricultural expansion. This paper synthesizes the current knowledge about wetland conservation economics in Canada, with a focus on prairie landscapes. We review the methods economists use to empirically measure the costs (i.e.,
