A generally accepted theorem in environmental economics is that an emission charge is the least-cost method for society to achieve a prescribed standard. But this assumes that no inefficiencies with respect to the undesired outputs occur at the level of the farm. However, in the real world farms do not operate efficiently, because of differences in availability of resources (e.g. management). Therefore, the proposition that taxes are the least-cost method to achieve a prescribed standard can be challenged. To illustrate this result a micro-economic model of Dutch pig farms is developed. For the Dutch pig farms, imposing a tax is not cost-effective, regulation is even more cost-effective with respect to minimizing the costs of reducing the...
