Agricultural Subsidies and Rural Development
用一个新经济地理模型比较了挂钩补贴和单一农场支付对农业、涉农工业和非农活动在城乡间布局的影响，发现两种补贴都能降低空间集聚，但只有单一农场支付能同时提高城乡福利。
Abstract How consistent is a single farm payment system with rural development goals? A new economic geography model is used to compare coupled subsidies to ‘single farm payments’ effects on the location of farming, agro‐industry and non‐farm activity between rural and urban areas. This abstract model features a majority of employment in service sectors, farming vertically linked to manufacturing, and strong preferences for geo‐varieties. It appears that both coupled subsidies and single farm payments can decrease spatial agglomeration. But only the single farm payment policy raises welfare in both rural and urban regions of this stylised economy.
