The aim of this work is to evaluate the impact of domestic and global biofuel policies on Germany's agricultural sector. The central part of our study is divided into four sections. Section 2 presents in detail the issues that make biofuels a debated topic in today's economic policies....

This paper presents a partial equilibrium simulation analysis of EU sugar market reformswith a version of the European Simulation Model (ESIM) addressing three issues: preferential EUimports are a function of the price differential between world market and EU price, EU supplyfunctions are...

This article reviews ways of representing the effects of decoupling in the EuropeanUnion (EU) on land allocation and production in eight selected simulationmodels (AGLINK, AG-MEMOD, CAPRI, CAPSIM, ESIM, FAPRI, GOALand GTAP). It then compares the simulated effects of decoupling and tracesthem...

Der vorliegende Beitrag beschreibt die Anwendung der logistischen Funktionsform zur Abbildung der Preistransmission von internationalen auf nationale Märkte im partiellen Nettohandels-Gleichgewichtsmodell ESIM (European Simulation Model). Am Beispiel des europäischen Rindfleischmarktes wird...

Dieser Beitrag stellt die Abbildung der Effekte einer verminderten Subsistenzproduktion für Milch in den MOEL in einem landwirtschaftlichen Sektormodell dar. Es wird projiziert, dass die Nettoexporte von Molkereiprodukten Bulgariens, Rumäniens und Polens im Falle eines EU-Beitritts niedriger...

Das Phänomen der Subsistenzlandwirtschaft hat in einigen mittel- und osteuropäischenLändern (MOEL) zum einen eine lange Tradition, zum anderen ist es durch die ökonomischeund soziale Transformation dieser Volkwirtschaften bedingt. Generell sinkt im Verlauf derökonomischen Entwicklung der...

Various simulation models uniformly project a decline of the cereal and silage maize area as well as ruminant production in the EU-15 in the course of decoupling of direct payments. In contrast, model results are heterogeneous with respect to the direction of the decoupling effect on oilseed and...

This paper presents an approach to depict subsistence production of milk in a partial equilibriumsector model and applies this approach to Poland, Bulgaria and Romania in the European SimulationModel (ESIM). The restriction on milk production implied by the EU milk quota in a situation...

Economic globalization affects the environment and sustainable development in several ways and through various channels. The purpose of this paper is to review the key links between globalization and the environment. The paper intends to consider the major issues in multilateral economic...
