This report synthesises the findings from the workshop on “Developments and Prospects of Farm Level Modelling for post 2013 CAP impact analysis” organised jointly by the IPTS-JRC and the Directorate-General for Agriculture and Rural Development in Brussels, 6-7 June 2012. The report...

We use a Multiplicative Competitive Interaction (MCI) model, a popular approach in marketing research, to explain the change in farm specialization over time. The change in farm specialization is measured by the variations of the Standard Gross Margin (SGM) shares. The model is applied to the...

In the choice experiment framework, it is assumed that respondents consider all the attributes when making their choices. However, there is evidence that respondents may not consider all the attributes. This study has proved that in our Choice Experiment survey evaluating public goods, there is...

Dieser Beitrag verwendet ein Multiplikatives Wettbewerbsinteraktionsmodell (MCI - Multiplicative Competitive Interaction), eine bekannte Analysemethode in der Marketingforschung, um Änderungen der Farmspezialisierungen im Laufe der Zeit zu erklären. Die Farmspezialisierungsänderungen sind als...

This paper presents a generic farm household model for use in the context of developing countries to gain knowledge on food security and rural poverty alleviation under different policy options. It is a static positive programming model which simultaneously solves a set of microeconomic farm...

This paper examines the factors affecting farmer's participation in an agri-environmental scheme (AES) in marginal areas implying few changes in the traditional farm management (environmental fallow). The enrolment theoretical micro-economic model reveals that farmers` (extrinsic) factors as...

This paper develops a profit maximiser theoretical framework which takes into account the potential presence of fixed costs when applying to an AES based on introducing an alternative cropping system (alfalfa). Estimation results show that there is an adoption barrier derived from the lack of...

The present study aims at modelling the impact of different CAP (Common Agricultural Policy) scenarios on 6 case study regional economies. The starting point is the construction of a Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) obtained through a combination of mechanical downscaling of higher level...

The European Union's Regional Policy and Common Agricultural Policy share a common objective of balanced regional development; in practice, they are implemented in very distinct ways as regional policies mainly focus their strategy on urban development while the CAP Pillar 2 is based on a...
