Resumo: | Over $1.7 billion has been spent on the Conservation Reserve Program (CRP) since 1985.  The purpose of this study is to show that these expenditures have aided the environment.  Rather than quantify changes in environmental variables, a spatial econometric model is used to test if CRP enrollments are greater in counties with poorer environmental quality.  In seven of nine regions, CRP enrollments are higher in counties with an environmental concern.  This positive finding justifies past expenditures by the CRP and supports continued funding as an environmental program.  The CRP is targeting current environmental concerns that will lead to future improvement.
