| Title: | VOLUNTARY ECONOMIC AND ENVIRONMENTAL RISK TRADEOFFS IN CROP PROTECTION DECISIONS |
| Authors: | Lohr, Luanne
Park, Timothy
Wetzstein, Michael |
| Issue Date: | 1998-04 |
| Abstract: | An indirect utility model is employed for measuring farmers' willingness to voluntarily accept yield losses for a reduction in environmental risk by decreasing pesticide use. Results support the hypothesis that farmers have self-described risk perceptions that enable them to make assessments of risk-yield tradeoffs. Policies designed to encourage and assist farmers making voluntary pesticide reductions can result in environmental risk reduction. |
