      abstract = {Economic instruments have been increasingly adopted by  governments around the world to address water scarcity  problems because of their potential to achieve  environmental outcomes in more cost-effective ways. This is  the first study to estimate the willingness to accept  compensation for land fallowing in rural China. Using  survey data collected from village representatives in  Northern China (mainly village leaders, party secretaries  and village accountants), our results suggest that in  groundwater irrigated sample villages, at least 28 per cent  of respondents have a compensation expectation lower than  the standard level of 500 yuan/mu/year for one season of  fallowing set by the Government. Water scarcity measures  such as irrigation supply reliability and  depth-to-groundwater within a village are found to have  statistically significant effects on the likelihood of  fallowing land in groundwater irrigated villages.},
