The aim of this study is the elicitation of farmers’ goals through a multi-criteria weighted programming model. This is pursued in the area of Ancient Epidaurus (Peloponnesus), where farming systems comprise various combinations of tree crops, such as olive-, orange- and mandarin- groves. The...

The complex and often conflicting policy objectives that CAP, either implicitly or explicitly, is designed to achieve as well as, due to trade-offs and compromises between stakeholders and between different stakeholders that inevitably arise when hard decisions must be made, make the adopted...

In Greece and internationally, the roundwood is one of the most important forest products as it is used widely in construction and building sector. In this study the process of wholesale long-length roundwood (2m) price determination is depicted in the form of an inverse demand system. The...

This paper examines evolutions of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) decoupling regime and their impacts on Greek arable agriculture. Policy analysis is performed by using mathematical programming tools. Taking into account increasing uncertainty, we assume that farmers perceive gross margin...

Inverse demand systems explain price variations as functions of quantity variations. This paper presents a dynamic inverse AIDS model based on recent developments on cointegration techniques and error correction model. The case of fish landed at Geek sea ports appears to suit this model well....

Although the policy impacts on farms accumulate year by year, most farm decision models focus on short-term decisions, evaluating policies based on snapshots. Structural changes are gradually built; therefore, farm decision models should consider the sequences within the period under study....

Building around the Goal-Framing Theory, this article explores farmer's adoption choices of organic farming practices under the presence of land subsidies and price premiums. The main results are: (i) even though land subsidies induce organic production, they reduce the fraction of organic...
