Bontems, Philippe; Favard, Pascal - 2002
In this paper we consider a two periods model of cropping using irrigation. The farmer takes two kind of decisions, one … related to the level of investment in irrigation capacity and the other one to the irrigation level in each period. In the … period. Assuming a CARA utility function, we show that taxing the investment may entail an increase in preventive irrigation …
