The objective of this paper is to analyse and quantify the spatial dimension of the CAP effects in an area of Northern Italy. The analysis is based on survey information about stated intentions of farm-household in two CAP scenarios, treated through statistical analysis intended to identify the...

The Common Agriculture Policy’s Fruit Scheme and School Milk Program are EU-wide institutional attempts to encourage consumption of selected food products among children by increasing their availability in schools. The number of pupils participating in both schemes in Poland has reached more...

The aim of the study was to define and quantify the influence of Polish accession to the EU on production and utilization of food raw materials. The analysis was based on secondary data from studies of the Central Statistical Office and the Institute of Agricultural and Food Economics. The...

Our paper asses the impacts of the partially decoupled (PD) scheme, implemented during the 1990s and first half of the 2000s in the framework of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP), on on-farm investment as well as on other production decisions. The Spanish COP sector was taken as a case study...

To explain over- and underuse of available quota, Buysse et al. (2007) have integrated the shadow cost of the quota constraint in a quota flexibility function in a positive mathematical programming model. This method and central hypothesis, formulated and tested for the case of Belgian sugar...

The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) is a major driver of the environmental and social sustainability of the agriculture in the European Union (EU). Under the 2003 CAP reform, most direct payments to agricultural producers were decoupled from production. This work assesses the possible impact of...

This research develops 'Johansen-type' models of agriculture and constructs Input-Output models for assessing the impact of the post-1992 CAP reforms on incomes, employment and the environment in four Alentejo study areas of Portugal. The effects of agricultural output changes on businesses...

This paper examines the effects of decoupling policies on Greek cotton production under the hypothesis that producers face uncertainty about output price and quantity. Using our estimation results we simulate the effects on cotton production under four alternative policy scenarios: the ‘Old’...

In this paper we evaluate empirically the absolute and relative size of risk-related effects of a farm policy change, with specific reference to the CAP arable crop regime. We adopt a dual framework under non linear mean-variance risk preferences, which incorporates the impact of price...

A number of economic models have been applied to analyse theCommon Agricultural Policy. The partial equilibrium models CAPRI,ESIM, AGLINK, AGMEMOD and CAPSIM and the general equilibriummodels GLOBE and GTAP are currently integrated in a modellingplatform for Agro-Economic Policy Analysis in the...
