An evaluation of alternative EC-market policies for fruit and vegetables
构建动态市场模拟模型，评估四种替代政策对欧共体水果蔬菜市场的影响，发现可避免食品销毁而不增加公共支出或显著降低生产者收入。
The actual EC market policy for fruit and vegetables is a cause of growing public concern, because quantities withdrawn from the market are often destroyed. A dynamic market simulation model was constructed and applied to evaluate the effects of alternative market policies. The considered policies include aggravated foreign trade regulation, production restrictions, processing subsidies, and an abolition or modification of the intervention system of fruit and vegetables. The simulation results suggest that the destruction of food can be avoided without causing an increase of public expenditures or a significant loss of producer incomes.
