CONTROLLING STRAW BURNING: FARM MANAGEMENT MODELLING OF THE POLICY OPTIONS USING LINEAR PROGRAMMING
研究了英国东部谷物农场在秋播作物收获后处理秸秆时，禁止焚烧、标准法规、污染税和可交易排放权等政策对农场收入的影响，发现可交易排放权是灵活有效的调控工具。
Autumn‐sown cereals place pressure on post‐harvest operations, particularly straw disposal. Burning is often a private solution but imposes external costs on others. Policy options to control burning include an outright ban, standard regulations, pollution taxes and transferable discharge rights. The effects of such options on farm income are assessed for an East of England cereals farm using a Linear Programming model. Results are sensitive to assumed straw yields, the market price of straw, and incorporation costs. Transferable discharge rights offer a flexible and efficient instrument to regulate straw burning at a non‐zero level.
