Plenary paper 1:A role for economic instruments in reconciling agricultural and environmental policy in accordance with the Polluter Pays Principle
探讨经济政策工具如何根据污染者付费原则协调农业与环境政策，认为产权变化和生态视角对消除生态与经济效率矛盾至关重要。
This paper explores how economic policy instruments might contribute to reconciling agricultural and environmental policies, in accordance with the Polluter Pays Principle, which implies rewards for environmental improvements, as well as payments for environmental damage. It is argued that changes in property rights and an ecological perspective on agricultural production are essential to the elimination of the apparent inconsistency between ecological efficiency and economic efficiency. While the valuation of external effects is problematic, economic policy instruments are seen as having an important and increasing role in environmental management and as contributing to the integration of agricultural and environmental policies.
