European environmental regulations to reduce water pollution: An analysis of their impact on UK dairy farms
使用线性规划模型模拟欧盟和荷兰的环保法规对英国奶牛场的影响，发现政策在多数情况下无效，并探讨了废物分布与政策针对性问题。
This study simulates the impact of environmental regulations on a group of dairy producers in the UK. The regulations originate from the EU and the Netherlands and are designed to reduce water pollution from livestock waste. Policy simulation is carried out using Linear Programming models and an environmental submodel allowing policy to be assessed in both economic and environmental terms. In many cases, policy imposition has no effect, and hence the distribution of waste across farmland and the targeting of pollution policy are considered. Copyright 1996 by Oxford University Press.
