Options for estimating effects of proposed freshwater policies on Māori land-use potential

This is the first of two Infometrics reports providing Māori economic impact analysis for the Essential Freshwater proposals. The report uses Māori-owned collective lands as a proxy for the Māori economy and estimates the potential profit-loss impact of the 2019 freshwater package (with a focus on dissolved inorganic nitrogen). See Resource Economics Essential Freshwater Costs Analysis (see related publications below) base case results.
