This paper applies an integrated CGE-microsimulation model to analyse the impact of the 2006-08 increase in commodity prices on Uganda. Previous impact analysis studies suggested that the food price shock increased poverty in Uganda as there are more net food buyer than net food seller...

The European Commission baseline is elaborated with AGLINK-COSIMO model. In order to make consistent policy analysis, the other two models of the iMap platform are calibrated to this baseline. The report describes how this calibration is done.

The repeated occurrence of high food price spells has started intensive research on the impacts of these events on income distribution and poverty, in particular. Initial empirical work attempting to assess the poverty impacts used first-order analysis using household data that differentiates...

Despite substantial reforms, the EU's Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is still criticised for its detrimental effects on developing countries. This paper provides updated evidence on the impact of the CAP on one developing country, Uganda. It goes beyond estimating macro-level economic effects...

Over the period 2005-2020, the Irish agri-food sector is confronted with three major policy changes: the decoupling of the single farm payment, the elimination of the dairy quota and potential multilateral trade liberalisation as part of an agreement in the Doha Development Round. This paper...

This article estimates a household demand system for Uganda from cross-sectional household survey data. More specifically, a 13 item two-stage demand system model is estimated for rural and urban households separately where the main second-stage is represented by a Quadratic Almost Ideal Demand...

Over the last decades traditional energy sources are increasingly replaced by energy from biomass and this trend is expected to continue into the future. Assessing the efficiency of bioenergy policies requires a comprehensive analysis of the interrelationship between agricultural and energy...

This paper represents an initial attempt at assessing the importance of estimated demand systems for the simulation of large price shocks with respect to poverty analysis. Using a Ugandan household survey data set and an estimated flexible demand system, three different approaches to simulating...

How does an increase in food prices at the border impact poverty in Uganda given the strong spatial heterogeneity of the country and its limited domestic transportation and communication networks? Recently, a number of studies on the impact of international food prices on poverty in developing...
