 Water markets represent a policy tool that aims at finding efficient water allocations among competing users by promoting reallocations from low-value to high-value uses. In Canada, water markets have been discussed and implemented at the provincial level
  however, at the national level a study about the economic benefits of its implementation is still lacking. This paper fills this void by implementing a water market in Canada and examine how water endowment shocks would affect the economy under the assumptions of general equilibrium theory. Our results show a water market would damp the economic loss in case of reductions in water endowment, but it also cuts back on the economic expansion that would follow from an increase on it. These results provide new insights on the subject and will provide a novel look and reinvigorate informed discussions on the use of water markets in Canada as a potential tool to cope with climate-induced water supply changes.
