Due to their high protein content, soybeans are important feedstuffs in the European Union (EU). However, the cultivation of soybeans using genetically modified (GM) varieties in non-EU countries is increasing and the EU authorization of GM products takes longer than in other countries, leading...

The EU Commission suggests to exclude CEC from the dynamic modulation mechanism, being part of the MTR package. This article looks at the distributional aspects of including the CEC into dynamic modulation. Under the current accession proposal the CEC would account for only 18% of the rural...

Various reasons including cif/fob spread, differing political price protection depending on the net trade situation, and domestic transportation cost contribute to situations in which domestic prices are different in an exporting compared to an importing situation. Net trade models that take...

In its Progress Report on Biofuels the European Commission proposes a more restrictivebiofuel directive which sets a mandatory minimum share of biofuels in total fuel consumption in thetransport sector of 10% per Member State by 2020. This is likely to have a strong impact on demandfor biofuel...

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...
