Consequences of a progressive reduction of direct payments in Germany: paving the way for post-2013?
Kellermann, Konrad; Sahrbacher, Amanda; Sahrbacher, … - In: German Journal of Agricultural Economics 58 (2009) 4
Due to Germany’s specific farm structure, the progressive modulation of direct payments decided within the Health Check of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is of particular relevance for German agriculture. In this paper we apply the agent-based model AgriPoliS to shed some light on the...

The agricultural policy simulator (AgriPoliS): an agent-based model to study structural change in agriculture (Version 1.0)
Happe, Kathrin; Balmann, Alfons; Kellermann, Konrad - Leibniz-Institut für Agrarentwicklung in … - 2004
A central criticism common to agricultural economic modelling approaches for policy analysis is that they do not adequately take account of a number of characteristic factors of the agricultural sector. This concerns aspects like the immobility of land, heterogeneity of farms, interactions...

CAP-reform and the provision of non-commodity outputs in Brandenburg
Happe, Kathrin; Damgaard, Martin; Osuch, Amanda; … - In: German Journal of Agricultural Economics 55 (2006) 5/6
This paper presents an attempt to model the response of selected farms to decoupled direct payments and the associated impact on the provision of a defined set of non-commodity outputs (NCO’s) using a combined modelling approach consisting of the AgriPoliS and MODAM models. AgriPoliS...

Evaluation of political control instruments for the Swiss alpine region
Calabrese, Chiara; Mack, Gabriele - European Association of Agricultural Economists - EAAE - 2011
This paper analyses different direct payments system for the Swiss alpine region based on the multi-agent model SWISSland. Moreover, the future demand and management of the alpine pastures are simulated under different scenarios until 2020. In the model, agents are representing existing summer...
