Pesticide use in agriculture poses several risks to both human health and non-target agro-ecosystems. Due to lack of … information on the monetary value of reducing pesticide risks, it is difficult to perform an economic analysis that addresses … to present a critical overview of the empirical literature on pesticide risk valuation that provides disaggregate …

The use of environmental policy instruments such as eco-labelling and pesticide taxes should preferably be based on … disaggregate estimates of the individuals' willingness to pay (WTP) for pesticide risk reductions. We review the empirical … valuation literature dealing with pesticide risk exposure and develop a taxonomy of environmental and human health risks …

The relationship between per capita income and a number of pollution indicators has been found to display an inverted U …-shaped or downward-sloping pattern. Corruption may affect this relationship in two distinct ways: by raising pollution at given …. Using cross section data for several indicators of pollution, the paper estimates the direct and the indirect effect of …

This paper analyzes stochastic productive pollution within a model of endogenous growth. The extent to which the agents … perceive their individual influence on aggregate pollution is parameterized. Recursive preferences allow for the separation … stochastic pollution tax, which is uncorrelated with the technological uncertainty of pollution, is compared with a pure …

local pollutant. Governments use environmental policies, i.e., an emissions standard or a tax, to control pollution and for … demand, the cost of abatement and the damage caused from pollution. Under these modes of uncertainty we derive sufficient …

In this article we extend the recent literature on overlapping generations with a pollution sector by allowing … generations to have a certain pollution perception with regards to the stock of pollution. Pollution perception, assumed to be … part of the generations' preferences, can be either a concern for the flow of pollution only, or for the stock, or anything …
