PUBLIC PREFERENCES, PRESSURE GROUPS, AND PUBLIC POLICY REGARDING MULTIFUNCTIONALITY IN AGRICULTURE: COMPATIBILITY AND CONFLICT

We demonstrate that program objectives and public priorities diverge in significant ways, and we develop a pressure group political economy model that explains such differences.
