Abstract: Reducing emissions is not the only way to control agricultural pollution; containing the movement of emissions is another. Theoretical and empirical analyses show that combining containment with discharge reductions can substantially reduce the costs of total and marginal abatement. This justifies more ambitious abatement objectives but will require coordinated action by landowners. Achieving this coordination is a major challenge of agricultural pollution control programs.
