Efficiency of rural conservation and supply control policies
研究了欧洲农业政策工具的技术和经济效率，指出以供给控制为主的工具因忽视农业与农村环境的互补性而效率低下，并建议采用交叉合规政策来接近最优社会效率。
This paper examines the technical and economic efficiency of popular European agricultural policy instruments within a framework that carefully specifies the trade-offs between agriculture and the rural environment. Instruments that focus primarily on supply control are technically inefficient, since they do not take advantage of potential complementarity between reducing agricultural output and increasing output of rural environmental goods and services. Thus recently agreed-upon CAP reforms will not achieve their potential contribution to agri-environmental efficiency under current implementation proposals. The first-best social optimum might be approached, without dismantling existing supports, using a type of cross-compliance policy.
