Redistributing Income Back to European Community Consumers and Taxpayers through the Common Agricultural Policy
运用加德纳剩余转换曲线分析的多政策工具推广,对欧共体小麦部门进行实证建模,比较不同政策改革方案的福利效应,发现生产配额加支持价格组合对小额转移最有效,而共同责任税加支持价格组合对大额转移最有效。
Abstract A multiple‐policy‐instrument generalization of Gardner's surplus transformation curve analysis is applied to an empirical model of the EC wheat sector to compare welfare effects of policy change proposals. A production quota/support price combination is estimated as the most efficient means of making relatively small transfers from EC agriculture to consumers/taxpayers. A coresponsibility levy/support price combination is estimated as the most efficient means of making larger transfers. The importance of accounting for income transfer size, distortions in related markets, and the structure of markets when comparing welfare effects of policy change proposals is demonstrated.
