Abstract

This dataset summarizes data collected in a meta‐analysis based on 31 studies that have estimated pesticide demand elasticities in Europe and North America. (Böcker, T., Finger, R. (2017). A Meta-Analysis on the Elasticity of Demand for Pesticides. Journal of Agricultural Economics 68(2): 518-533) From the selected studies, we obtained the following information, as available: (i) the year of publication, (ii) the period of analysis/data collection period, (iii) the country/region that was the subject of the analysis, (iv) the cropping system investigated, with classification into arable and grassland farming, special crops (horticulture, fruit production, viticulture), and an aggregate bundle when no specific production type was analysed, (v) the type of pesticide investigated, i.e. herbicides, fungicides, insecticides and pesticides in general, (vi) the considered flexibility/time span, i.e. short‐term/fix or long‐term/variable, (vii) the estimated demand elasticity for pesticides, (viii) min–max values of these demand elasticity estimates, (ix) the method used, with distinction between econometric and normative models, and (x) information on whether the study was peer‐reviewed. Note that publications can be listed multiple times if they present demand elasticities, for example, for different regions, agricultural systems, types of pesticides and/or use different methodologies.
