LAND HETEROGENEITY AND THE EFFECTIVENESS OF CAP SET‐ASIDE
研究了1992年欧盟共同农业政策改革中,农民在休耕选项间的选择是否加剧了休耕政策的产出漏损问题,模型显示农民倾向于选择减产出效果较差的选项。
The May 1992 reform of the CAP included a choice for farmers between set‐aside options. This paper examines the question of whether or not this choice feature has exacerbated the slippage problem associated with the set‐aside policy in the context of heterogeneous land quality. A model is developed which provides a basis for determining both a farmer's preferred choice of set‐aside option, and the implications of this choice for output reduction. A numerical application of the model suggests a strong tendency for farmers to choose the less effective option in terms of reducing output.
