我们解决了旨在减少农民和农场工人农药中毒的法规的影响。注意力集中在收获前的间隔规定，农药的应用和收获之间的时间间隔。中毒的发生率取决于农药的使用总量、工人接触情况和毒性。建立了一个昆虫种群增长的动态随机模型，并用于衡量农药使用的动机。增加收获前间隔对收获工人中毒的数量有不明确的影响。农药税无疑减少了工人中毒的数量。在加州的萨利纳斯山谷叶莴苣上施用速灭磷的案例研究中，理论结果被量化。版权所有2000年，牛津大学出版社。
We address the impacts of regulations designed to reduce pesticide poisoning of farmers and farm laborers. Attention is concentratedon pre-harvest interval regulations that impose a time interval between pesticide application and harvest. The incidence of poisoning is determined by aggregate pesticide use, worker exposure, and toxicity. A dynamic, stochastic model of insect population growth is developed and used to measure the incentives for pesticide use. Increasing the pre-harvest interval has an ambiguous effect on the number of harvest worker poisonings. Pesticide taxation unambiguously reduces the number of worker poisonings. Theoretical results are quantified in a case study of mevinphos application on leaf lettuce in California's Salinas Valley. Copyright 2000, Oxford University Press.
