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...

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...

Die in angewandten Simulationsmodellen weit verbreiteten isoelastischen Angebots- und Nachfragesysteme haben den Nachteil, daß sie nur sehr eingeschränkt auf globale Konsistenz mit bestimmten sich aus der ökonomischen Theorie ergebenden Bedingungen zu restringieren sind. In diesem Beitrag...

A major drawback of constant elasticity supply and demand systems, which are widely used in simulation models for applied policy analysis, is that they can’t be restricted to globally comply with certain conditions implied by economic theory. This paper compares constant elasticity systems to...

We investigate the relationship between farm level competitiveness and environmental performance using Stochastic Frontier Analysis (SFA). We use an Irish panel of farm level financial data for the years 2000-2017 to analyse the link between EU Common Agricultural Policy environmental payments,...
