Abstract: Although EPA routinely examines the effects of individual pesticide regulations on aggregate farm income, only a few attempts have been made to examine the impacts of multiple pesticide cancellations. This study examines the combined effect of recent and proposed environmental regulations (both pesticide and nonpesticide). Rather than focusing on aggregate farm income, this study examines the change in income levels for selected representative farms. Use of a farm level analysis provides insights into distributional effects of environmental regulations that are overlooked in aggregate analyses.
