Decoupling of agricultural support payments: the impact on land market participation decisions
研究了欧盟将农业支持支付与生产脱钩的政策对爱尔兰农民土地市场参与决策的影响,发现脱钩并未显著改变农民决策,可能原因是交叉合规要求。
This paper analyses the impact of the recent decision by the European Union to ‘decouple’ agricultural support payments from agricultural production on Irish farmers' land market decisions. The land market participation decisions of Irish farmers are modelled using a dynamic probit model, while the extent of participation decisions is modelled using a dynamic tobit model. Decoupling does not appear to have significantly altered farmers' land market decisions. One likely explanation for this is the cross-compliance obligation for farmers to maintain land in a state fit for agricultural production in order to receive their full payments. , Oxford University Press.
