The effects of the CAP on international trade in poultry meat
研究了欧盟共同农业政策通过提高生产成本、禁止进口和补贴出口对禽肉贸易的影响,发现该政策使欧盟从净进口国变为主要出口国,并对消费者和生产者造成效率损失。
The Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) increases poultry production costs, prohibits poultry imports, and subsidizes poultry exports. An equilibrium displacement model is applied to analyze the effects of these policies. In the absence of the CAP it is likely that the European Community (EC) would be a net importer rather than a major exporter of poultry. The large implicit tax on EC poultry consumers is an inefficient means of transferring income to producers, and the policy has significant net costs. The displacement of U.S. exports, mainly to the Middle East, involves substantial cost to U.S. producers but these are almo st entirely offset by gains to U.S. consumers.
