Regulating nonpoint-source pollution from agriculture: An integrated modelling analysis
研究通过综合建模系统ECECMOD，分析减少农业氮、磷和土壤流失的政策措施，比较投入导向措施（如肥料税）与直接改变农艺实践的政策效果，并讨论精确性与监管成本之间的权衡。
This paper analyses a set of policy measures oriented towards reducing losses of nitrogen, phosphorus, and soil from agricultural land. An interdisciplinary modelling system - ECECMOD - is presented and a set of policy scenarios analysed. The analyses are oriented towards comparing the effects of input-oriented measures (fertiliser taxes) and policy measures directed towards more direct changes in the agronomic practices conducted on the farm. The effects on emission levels, abatement costs, and distributional effects are documented. The trade-offs between precision and regulation costs are discussed.
