      abstract = {Agri-environmental programs offering uniform payments to  farmers
achieved only low participation ratios in some  regions whereas, in
other regions, windfall profits arose.  Auctions leading to individual
payments equal to farmers’  bids could solve this problem. Simulations
showing  auctions’ efficiency gains are based on critical  assumptions
though. In this article the validity of these  assumptions is discussed
for different auction designs and  different subprograms. We
find that extensification  programs offer the best conditions for successful
auctions.  However, it seems counterproductive to use auctions
for  choosing among different areas in environmental  contracting.},
