Land sharing vs. land sparing for biodiversity: How agricultural markets make the difference

Desquilbet, Marion; Dorin, Bruno; Couvet, Denis - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2014

We show that whether intensive or extensive farming is most beneficial to biodiversity depends on the equilibrium of agricultural markets. With higher production costs, extensive farming tends to be more beneficial to biodiversity than intensive farming, except when there is a very high degree...

The impact of climate change on agriculture and food prices: combining a micro land use model and a market equilibrium model

Kan, Iddo; Kimhi, Ayal; Kaminski, Jonathan - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2014

We develop an empirical farmland allocation model based on explicit profit functions that is linked to a market demand model. The model accounts for corner solutions, enabling estimation with disaggregated data, and thereby allows treating prices as exogenous. The integrated model enables...

Ethnicity and views about the New Zealand environment

Hughey, Kenneth FD; Kerr, Geoffrey N.; Cullen, Ross - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2014

Limited research has been completed on the relationship between ethnicity and views within a country on the environment, pressures on the environment and its management. Some recent New Zealand research has found no significant difference in environmental world views between different ethnic...

Impact of ‘greening’ the Common Agricultural Policy: Evidence from selected countries based on CAPRI model

Was, Adam; Zawalinska, Katarzyna; Britz, Wolfgang - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2014

This paper examines the potential impacts of the post 2013 EU Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) reform, which aims to improve the environmental performance of agriculture, called “greening” the CAP. Using the well-established CAPRI model, the economic and environmental consequences of the...

What land-use pattern emerges with landscape-scale management? An ecosystem-service perspective

Cong, Ronggang; Ekroos, Johan; G. Smith, Henrik; Brady, Mark - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2014

considering the externality of ecosystem services. Given this advantage, how to regulate individual farmers’ land-use decisions to … configurations of habitat are closer to land sharing. However, as crop dependency on ecosystem-services declines, the land … integrated into the cross-compliance of CAP (Common Agricultural Policy) to better manage ecosystem-service in the future. …

Geographical Labeling of Agri-Food Products and its Incidence on the Cross-Sectional Approach to Climate Change Impacts Assessment

Jayet, Pierre-Alain - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2014

The cross-sectional approach to the assessment of climate change impacts on agriculture is a widely used technique. It is based on land prices and supposes a perfect mobility of agricultural activities following climate evolution. Theory and our empirical study of the French land market show...

Sustainable agricultural land use in mountain regions under climate change: Insights from modelling studies in the ‹Mountland› project

Robert, Huber - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2014

Mountain regions provide essential ecosystem goods and services (EGS). Global change however endangers the capacity of … political and natural sciences to analyse ecosystem functioning from a holistic human-environment system perspective. In this …

The economics of the Food versus Biodiversity debate

Martinet, Vincent - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2014

Ecologists discuss the “food versus biodiversity” trade-offs in the fol- lowing terms: what is the land use configuration that minimizes biodiver- sity loss for a given food production target. This is, in economic terms, a cost-effectiveness approach related to the concept of...

Spatial dependence in the adoption of organic drystock farming in Ireland

Laepple, Doris; Kelley, Hugh - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2014

This article analyzes spatial dependence in the adoption of organic farming. A Bayesian spatial Durbin probit model is applied to survey data of almost 600 Irish drystock farmers. The findings reveal that farmers located in close proximity exhibit similar choice behavior. More specifically,...

Climatic anomalies and conflicts: the role of tenure security on land disputes

Di Falco, Salvatore; Veronesi, Marcella - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2014

Recent literature shows that deviations from normal rainfall and temperature systematically increase the occurrence of human conflicts. We investigate whether land certification can offset the effect of climate anomalies on land use conflicts. We use a large panel dataset from farm-household...
