Abstract

En Europe, les formes actuelles de contrôle de la pollution azotée diffuse reposent encore sur la réglementation, malgré un bilan mitigé de ce mode de régulation. L'application d'autres instruments réputés plus efficaces, telle la taxation des engrais azotés, est controversée parmi les économistes qui divergent sur l'élasticité-prix de leur demande et donc sur la diminution attendue des quantités d'engrais. Une telle taxe a déjà été appliquée dans quatre pays européens et il semble utile d'en faire un bilan comparatif avec les autres pays. Dans cet objectif, après avoir présenté les expériences de taxation existantes, l'article présente tout d'abord une analyse par la statistique descriptive, puis une approche économétrique des facteurs explicatifs de la consommation d'engrais azotés. Les résultats obtenus mettent en évidence : l'absence d'effet structurel de la taxation ; la très faible influence du prix de l'engrais azoté sur l'évolution de sa consommation, relativement à celui des pesticides ou des produits agricoles ; le rôle significatif de l'accroissement des rendements et de l'extension des cultures par rapport aux prairies, éléments d'un processus plus général d'intensification de l'agriculture, cohérent avec la politique des prix agricoles de la période analysée.
