Dynamic vs. Static Models for Erosion Control Policy Research

In recent studies of erosion control in agricultural production it has been standard practice to use timeless or static models of agricultural production processes. In this paper implications of a dynamic model of agricultural production for erosion control decision making are compared to those of a static model. On the basis of this cimparison it is suggested that future research on the economics of erosion control and erosion control policy may benefit from the use of dynamic modeling methods.
