Environmental and farm commodity policy linkages in the US and the EC
使用局部均衡模拟模型，分析了美国和欧共体在不同农业商品政策情景下对农业化学品限制的影响，发现现有农业计划下美国土地所有者受益而欧共体受损，双边取消农业计划后双方均受益。
This paper analyses restrictions on agricultural chemicals in the US and the EC under various farm commodity policy scenarios using a partial equilibrium simulation model. The model has three regions (US, EC, rest of the world) and four commodities (wheat, maize, coarse grains, soybeans). Medium- and long-run impacts are derived. Given existing farm programmes, US landowners gain from chemical restrictions while EC landowners generally lose. Given bilateral elimination of farm programmes, both US and EC landowners gain from chemical restrictions. Bilateral farm programme elimination without chemical restrictions induces a shift in chemical usage from the EC to the US.
