The paper discusses an ex ante evaluationof the derogation on the Nitrates Directive for Flanders,Belgium, which is a case of intensive but highlyproductive livestock areas. The aim is to develop anaccurate simulation model to detect small differences inmanure surpluses caused by changes of...

A mathematical programming model, calibrated on individual farm data, is used to analyse the reform of the common market organisation (CMO) in the sugar sector of the European Union. The model includes a precautionary farm supply function for out-of-quota sugar beet that is estimated as part of...
