The Economics Of Co-Permitting

Author

Listed:
  • Lichtenberg, Erik

Abstract

State and federal regulators have been considering making livestock integrators jointly responsible with growers for waste disposal. We show that joint responsibility will generally be efficient when contracts are structured to address problems of grower moral hazard. But joint responsibility for waste disposal will also redistribute income from growers to integrators.
