Abstract: Survey of 1416 California farm workers indicated sigr1ificant underreporting of pesticide injuries in official information sources. Institutions for internalization of externalities are operating inefficiently due to an imprecise data problem. Seventy percent of farm workers had never heard of Workmans' Insurance, and 20 percent .. could not understand pesticide warning labels.
