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...

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...

At the EU Council in December 2004, European heads of governments will decide on apotential date for the start of EU accession negotiations with Turkey. Various recent analysesassess the cost of applying the Common Agricultural Policy of the EU (CAP) to Turkeywithout taking into account the...

This paper develops an analytical framework which structures the problem of whether, how and to what extent small producers in developing countries are disadvantaged by the increasing prevalence of food quality standards. Based on a literature review, the empirical evidence is structured and...

The EU protects EU growers of 15 kinds of fresh fruits and vegetables against internationalcompetition not only by the means of ad valorem tariffs of up to 20%, but also by the EUentry-price system (EPS), which is designed to restrict imports below the product-specific,politically designated...

China has become a major exporter of fresh fruits and vegetables in recent years. Between 2002and 2006, China’s fresh fruit and vegetable exports rose continuously, more than doubling in valueto reach nearly $5 billion US in 2006. The net trade position for fresh fruits and vegetables hasalso...
