Another good example of a study that successfully was able to relate farmer
health problems with pesticide use and tried to estimate the economic
impact of these health problems is a paper by Pingali, Marquez and Palis
entitled "Pesticides and Philippine rice farmer health: A medical and
economic analysis." It was published in 1994 in the American Journal of
Agricultural Economics 76(3): 587-592.
I hope this is helpful.
