      abstract = {We present a meta-analysis based on all studies that have  estimated pesticide demand elasticities in Europe and  North-America. Our meta-analysis allows identifying demand  elasticity estimates across various categories, ranging  from the type of pesticide or agricultural systems  considered to the methodology employed and the publication  channel. We find that the demand for pesticides in special  crops is less elastic compared to arable and grassland  farming. Moreover, the results indicate that herbicides  have a more elastic demand compared to other pesticides.  Studies that consider short-term horizons and little  flexibility for farmers to adjust indicate significantly  less elastic pesticide demands.},
