Can we expect abatement of agricultural pollution using economic incentives : the case of intensive livestock farming in France

Résumé

Among the economic incentives relevant to improve the situation the analysis emphasizes nitrogen taxation, the most feasible means. lt would increase the opportunity cost of organic nitrogen and would encourage a better utilization of manure. To deal with the potential impacts of a tax put on fertilizers we consider nitrogen demand, first using the cost function approach which is a conventional one to derive input demand. After that, a more adapted methodology based on a Tobit specification is discussed. This paper is restricted to the intensive livestock industry. However for arable farming in France it has been shown (Vermersch, 1989) that taxation would be consistent with a process of extensification.
