An ex-post evaluation of a 2007-08 water quality pilot tender in the Lower Burdekin River area. The project reviews the trial's design, operation, and administration to assess its effectiveness for long-term change and inform economic theory. The dataset is associated with the Australian Ocean Data Network and was last updated in July 2026.
Use Cases
- Evaluate the effectiveness of a market-based instrument for environmental outcomes based on the tender review.
- Analyze the design and operational factors of a pilot environmental tender based on the project's review scope.
- Inform the design of future water quality tenders based on identified strengths and opportunities for improvement.
Strengths
