      abstract = {Decoupled payments were thought to have minimal impacts on  current production decisions and input use. However, the  literature has identified several mechanisms through which  decoupled payments become coupled. We analyze the effects  of uncertainty regarding future policy changes on  farm-level production decisions and input use, focusing on  farmers’ expectations of base acreage and yield updating.  Using farm-level data, we find positive relationships  between both decoupled and other government payments and  real per acre expenditures on agricultural chemicals.  Furthermore, there is evidence that decoupled payments may  affect the intensive margin more than other government  payments.},
