Site-Specific Simulation of Nutrient Control Policies: Integrating Economic and Water Quality Effects
Burkhart, Christopher S.; Jha, Manoj K. - In: Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics 37 (2012) 1
A watershed-based modeling system is developed to assess alternative nutrient abatement policies, including fertilizer taxes, application caps, and uniform reductions. A microeconometric model of nutrient use is estimated using farm-level data, prices, and spatially detailed soil and land...

An Analysis of the Role of Tile-Drained Farmland Under Alternative Nitrogen Abatement Policies
Petrolia, Daniel R.; Gowda, Prasanna H. - In: Journal of Agricultural and Resource Economics 31 (2006) 03
Agricultural nitrogen is a major contributor to Gulf of Mexico hypoxia, and research has shown that agricultural … subsurface tile drainage is a major carrier of nitrogen from croplands to streams and rivers. This study compares the results of … abating nitrogen under a retired-land minimization policy with those of a new revenue-maximizing policy, paying particular …
