General information
- EU framework project 1997-1999
- Development and application of an EU-wide agricultural sector model:
- covering about 200 regions (NUTS 2 level)
- in order to evaluate regional and aggregate impacts of the CAP on production, income, markets, and the environment
Network
- coordination: project team at the University of Bonn
- 6 main European partners
- each partner covers a cluster of Member States with the help of sub-contractors
Data base
- activity based breakdown of regional agricultural production (about 50 activities)
- farm and market balances, unit value prices at national level (about 60 products, 35 inputs)
- consistent to the Economic Accounts of Agriculture
- includes policy variables at regional (premiums, set-aside, base areas...) and EU-level (tariffs, administrative prices, trade quotas...)
- complete for the years 1990-1995
- sourced by Eurostat's SPEL and REGIO data bases, completed (main effort!) by national and regional statistics
Modelling concept
- comparative static equilibrium model, solved by iterating supply and market modules
- supply module: separate, regional, non-linear programming models allowing to directly implement most policy measures with highly differentiated set of activities; Allocation based on profit maximising behaviour calibrated to exogeneous elasticities (animals) and estimated multi-product cost functions (annual crops); Perrenial activity levels projected exogeneously; provision of nutrient balances and gas emissions with global warming potential based on production system
- market module: Non-spatial, net-trade, multi-commodity model; regionalised at Member State level (+Norway, Switzerland, and "Rest-of-the-world"); endogeneous world market price and flexible levies
- equilibrium ensures cleared markets for products and young animals, match of feeding requirements of national herds
Technical Solution
- use of institute software and GAMS
