Ralph E. Heimlich and Roger Claassen

Agricultural and Resource Economics Review, 1998, vol. 27, issue 1, 95-107

Abstract: U.S. agricultural conservation policy has focused on a range of potential policy instruments centered on voluntary approaches tied into Depression-era commodity programs. Entering the twenty-first century, conservation policy is at a crossroads between more coercive regulatory policies, more costly voluntary programs, and more facilitative market-oriented policies. What are the pitfalls, advantages, disadvantages, and tradeoffs along these paths?
