Environmental and agricultural policy effects on information acquisition and input choice
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted on the effects of agricultural policies, a unit pesticide tax and an information subsidy on the selection of damage control inputs. The results indicate that a pesticide tax can provide an incentive for the adoption of a non-chemical pest control input. Furthermore, conventional economic intuition about the impact of farm program parameters depends largely on the returns to scale of the non-chemical kill function and the local stability of the steady state.
