The Normative Analysis of Agricultural Policy: A General Framework and Review
构建了一个农业政策规范分析的通用框架,统一了四十年来的文献,并指出分配公平的考量方法可归结为基于福利主义和帕累托效率的三种方法。
The paper provides a general framework of normative agricultural policy analysis within which it is possible to unify forty years of literature. It is shown that the literature has gone from examining a very small set of simple policies to a much broader set of policies that combine policy instruments simultaneously. In ranking alternative policies agricultural economists have tried to consider distributive equity. While at a glance it may seem that many different methods have been used to consider distributive equity, we show that in general all these methods can be traced back to three alternative methods based on welfarism and Pareto efficiency.
