Sugar sector restructuring in Poland: some benefits and costs of EU accession
量化了波兰加入欧盟共同农业政策对糖业部门的收益与成本，发现投资和技术改进可提升效率，但结构性障碍可能带来成本。
This paper quantifies some of the costs and benefits for the Polish sugar sector from Poland's participation in the EU's Common Agricultural Policy. A non-linear, spatial optimisation model is used. The results indicate potential for substantial efficiency gains from improved access to much-needed investment funds and modern production technology. Costs might be incurred as a result of the introduction of impediments to structural change, such as sugarbeet delivery regulations. Overall, the analysis highlights the importance of decisive privatisation and liberalisation efforts during the pre-accession period. Copyright 2001, Oxford University Press.
