Emigration and employment impacts of a disastrous earthquake: country of birth matters Open
Two earthquakes in Christchurch, New Zealand, in 2010–11 caused 185 casualties, demolished much of the inner-city and caused significant job losses. We examine one form of adjustment to these outcomes: (international) emigration. Using a d…

Modelling Climate Change Impacts on Location Suitability and Spatial Footprint of Apple and Kiwifruit Open
The threats and opportunities faced by primary production industries from future climate changes can be adequately prepared for only with the guidance of model projections that can assist the development of robust policy and climate adapta…

Modelling Continuous Location Suitability Scores and Spatial Footprint of Apple and Kiwifruit in New Zealand Open
Under climate change, land use suitability for horticultural production will change; this has prospects of both adverse socio-economic impacts for the industry in some regions, and beneficial impacts in others. Policy development and indus…

Yield to Change: Modelling the Land-use Response to Climate-Driven Changes in Pasture Production Open
In contrast to most economic drivers of land-use change, climate-related drivers display substantial geographic variation. Accounting for this spatial heterogeneity is important in simulations of the land-use response to climate change. I …

Does money grow on trees? Mitigation under climate policy in a heterogeneous sheep-beef sector Open
I use simulations from the Land Use in Rural New Zealand model to consider mitigation for different classes of sheep-beef farms under climate policy. Farmers in the model can respond to carbon prices by abandoning or afforesting marginal l…

Climate change impacts and implications: an integrated assessment in a lowland environment of New Zealand Open
New Zealand’s mixed economy includes a range of sectors (e.g. primary production, energy, tourism) that depend heavily on the state of natural resource capital. This makes the economy heavily dependent on future global climate change and t…
