Regional redistributive effects of common price support policies
研究了由进口税和出口补贴维持的价格支持政策如何导致消费者向农业生产者的收入转移,并分析了这种转移在关税同盟内不同区域间的再分配效应,提出了比“小国假设”更现实的估计方法,并以意大利橄榄油价格支持为例进行了估算。
The policy of price support sustained by import levies and export subsidies leads to a transfer of income from consumers to agricultural producers. This intersectoral transfer has a regional impact insofar as the amounts going to consumers and producers vary from region to region. As a result, income flows are created which pass from regions which are net consumers, to those which are net producers. Graphs are used to show the redistributive effects arising from price support on regions within a customs union, taking possible effects on world market prices into account. A way of estimating interregional income transfers is proposed which seems to reflect the impact of the policy instruments used by CAP more realistically than under the 'small country assumption'. Finally, an example is presented of the estimation of income redistribution between regions in Italy as a result of the olive oil price support. 1.
