Abstract
The impact of the water-pricing policy in irrigated agriculture in Emilia Romagna (Italy) is evaluated through the analysis of farmers' water use. The policy assessment is performed by a novel application of the Difference in Differences (DID) method considering the periods of analysis in a reversed form. The results indicate that farmers react to volumetric pricing by reducing water use per hectare.
