Benefit/Cost Analysis of Silvex Cancellation. Unit Day Value Method,

Abstract

Whereas the present system of analysis by the Environmental Protection Agency in the Rebutable Presumption Against Reregistraion (APAR) of silvex, defines the conditions that change the cost of agricultural production as benefits, the basic truth is that elimination of a herbicide such as silvex, has costs beyond and above the costs to agriculture. The system of analysis should consider all benefits to the nation, particularily in a time of economic stress. It is the total economy of the nation that must be taken into account. The conclusions from such an analysis could certainly change the decision on eliminating a herbicide. (Author)
