Abstract
⺠Risk preferences influences farmers' fertilizer decisions. ⺠Smaller levels of nitrogen taxes are required for risk averse farmers. ⺠Increases in price or yield variability reduce optimal levels of fertilizer application. ⺠Assuming profit maximization may overestimate abatement costs. ⺠Policy should take risk-averse behavior into account.
