Decoupled Payments and the Localization of Activities

Daniel, Karine; Kilkenny, Maureen - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2002

This article considers the impacts of (de)coupled farm sector support on the locations of farming and agro-industrial activity. An economic geography model is developed which has two types of regions, one with extensive agricultural production (rural), the other with intensive farming that is...

Farm Diversification in Relation to Landscape Properties

Pfeifer, C.; Jongeneel, Roelof A.; Sonneveld, M.; … - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2008

location in farmers’ decision making to diversify is pointed out in literature but geographical information is generally … reduced to the location within a political delimitation unit the empirical work. Objective of this paper is two-fold. Firstly …, it addresses the role of location, in term of site specific natural conditions as well as neighbouring emerging dynamics …

Economic and environmental effects of an EU flat rate for the Dutch agricultural sector

Helming, John F.M.; Peerlings, Jack H.M. - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2012

The objective of this research is to give insights into the production, income and environmental effects of the introduction of an EU flat rate for Dutch agriculture. For this purpose, a detailed agri-environmental programming model for Dutch agriculture is used. Results of the EU flat rate...

Aggregation and Calibration of Agricultural Sector Models Through Crop Mix Restrictions and Marginal Profit Adjustments

Wiborg, Torben; McCarl, Bruce A.; Rasmussen, Svend; … - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2005

All agricultural sector models must deal with aggregation and calibration somehow. The aggregation problem involves treating a group of producers as if they all responded in the same way as a single representative unit. The calibration problem concerns making a model reproduce as closely as...

Environmental Good Production in the Optimum Activities Portfolio of a Risk Averse Farmer

Havlik, Petr; Jacquet, Florence; Boisson, Jean-Marie; … - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2005

An analytical framework is proposed for analysis of environmental good production by farmers in the case of price uncertainty. Environmental good production contracted by means of agri-environmental agreements is treated as a risk less option in the farmer's production activities portfolio....

Greek cotton farmers' supply response to partial decoupling of subsidies

Rozakis, Stelios; Tsiboukas, Kostas; Petsakos, Athanasios - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2008

A mathematical programming model based on a countrywide sample of farms is used to assess the impacts of the new C.A.P on the supply of the cotton sector in Greece. Results show a decrease in cotton cultivated area along with the introduction of a new production system called "semi-abandonment...

Spatially explicit farming system modelling for an efficient agri-environmental policy design

Havlik, Petr; Bamiére, Laure; Jacquet, Florence; … - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2008

A mathematical programming model is developed and associated to a spatial pattern index (Ripley L function) to analyse the optimal reserve design and implementation for the Little Bustard conservation in Plaine de Niort. The model structure corresponds to three spatial levels, fields, farm and...

Evaluating the efficiency of a N-input tax under different policy scenarios at different scales

Petsakos, Athanasios; Jayet, Pierre-Alain - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2010

Nitrate pollution from agriculture is an important environmental problem, caused by the excessive use of inorganic fertilizers. The internalization of this externality, via a tax on mineral nitrogen, could lead to a second best solution, reducing nitrate emissions. Several authors suggest that a...

Agri-Environmental Policies When the Spatial Pattern of Biodiversity Reserves Matters

Bamiere, Laure; David, Maia; Vermont, Bruno - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2011

The aim of this paper is to compare different policy instruments for cost-effective habitat conservation on agricultural lands, when the desired spatial pattern of reserves is a random mosaic. We use a spatially explicit mathematical programming model which studies the farmers' behavior as...

Production system based global livestock sector modeling: Good news for the future

Havlik, Petr; Herrero, Mario; Mosnier, Aline; … - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2011

Livestock is recognized as one of the major drivers of current and future global change. This is caused on the production side, by the substantial resource requirements (land and water) per unit of output, and the related greenhouse gas emissions, and on the consumption side, by the growing...
