Monitoring incomes of agricultural households within the EU's information system-new needs and new methods
欧盟统计局开发了衡量各成员国农业家庭总可支配收入的方法，以应对政策制定者对农业家庭整体收入的关注，早期结果对农业政策评估有启示，并指出需要补充微观数据。
Until recently, the official indicators of agricultural income available to Common Agricultural Policy decision makers related solely to the incomes from agricultural activity. To cater for an increased interest in the overall income of agricultural households, the Statistical Office of the European Union (Eurostat) has developed a measure of the aggregate disposable income of agricultural households in each Member State. In devising the underlying methodology, important issues have had to be confronted that pose questions about the fundamental aims of the CAP. Early results carry implications for the way that agricultural policy is viewed and point to the need for complementary microeconomic data. Copyright 1996 by Oxford University Press.
