Abstract: | Arable nitrogen emissions contribute to serious water-quality problems around the globe. In order to reduce pollution of the Baltic Sea, Sweden has implemented a comprehensive scheme of nitrogen abatement instruments, a uniform nitrogen fertilizer tax, green payments (subsidies) and land-use regulations. This study evaluates the relative cost-efficiency of the scheme and analyses the implications of agricultural policy for the least-cost solution. |
