The Search for an Optimal U.S. Agricultural Water Quality Policy

William E. Martin and Wesley D. Seitz

No 271213, 1991 Annual Meeting, August 4-7, Manhattan, Kansas from American Agricultural Economics Association (New Name 2008: Agricultural and Applied Economics Association)

Abstract: A generalized total systems model of agricultural production and water quality is outlined. Contributions of economists to the components of the system are reviewed. Economic investigation has been fragmented, but a few weak generalizations can be made. Generalization for policy will require comparisons between many large-scale models, rather than any single optimization.
