Cost-benefit analysis of abatement measures for nutrient emission from agriculture

Wustenberghs, H.; Broekx, Steven; Van Hoof, K.; Claeys, … - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2008

In intensive animal husbandry areas surface water N and P concentrations often remain too high. The Water Framework Directive calls for additional nutrient emission abatement measures. Therefore, costs and benefits for possible agricultural measures in Flanders were first analysed in terms of...

Does Scale Matter? Cost Effectiveness of Agricultural Nutrient Abatement When Target Level Varies

Iho, Antti - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2005

target level variation on efficiency properties of agricultural phosphorus abatement. We analyse the robustness of cost …-effectiveness as the scheme of measures is adopted from another, identical river basin with different target level on total phosphorus … abatement. We find that even between homogeneous regions the cost-effective scheme of measures is unique for all target levels …
