1	The Evolution Of Intra And Extra Eu-15 Agricultural Trade: The Impact Of The Cap Reform And The Uraa Kucuk, Gamze 01 September 2008 (has links) (PDF) In this thesis, intra and extra European Union-15 agricultural trade is investigated for the period 1985 - 2005. The main purpose of this study is to find out to what extent the two major events of this period, the CAP reform of mid-1990&rsquo / s and the Uruguay Round Agreement on Agriculture (URAA) of 1995, changed the relative shares of extra and intra trade in overall agricultural trade. The efforts to make European agriculture more competitive and more integrated with the world market have not concluded in a way that the dominance of intra trade over extra trade is relieved. The intra trade still dominates the EU-15 agricultural trade as it has been dominating since 1985. European agricultural market has become more open to world products only in some product groups. Similarly, liberalizing reforms had limited impact on EU-15 countries on individual basis. The shares of intra trade and extra trade remained more and less stable in most of the member states.

2	The Cap And The Consumer Seremet, Isil 01 June 2004 (has links) (PDF) Official inception of the Common agricultural Policy of the European Union dates back to 1962. It has been criticised in many aspects so far / and the most recent criticisms came from the consumers. Nevertheless, consumers&rsquo / side with respect to agricultural reforms has often been neglected vis a vis producers&rsquo / side, making this subject and interesting issue needed to be looked into. This thesis study touches upon the historical development of the Common Agricultural Policy. It explores benefits and the losses incurred by European consumers regarding the agricultural policy and the amendments introduced thereto. It sets out from this point of view and elaborates on food security, safety and quality within the European Union. This thesis exhibits facts about environmental consequences of the CAP together with organic farming practices. Additionally, it mentions globalization of ! the agricultural market and the emergence of supermarket chain! s and di scusses the benefits and detriments these brought about especially for the consumer. Finally, it indicates the activities undertaken by the organizations within the European Union and explores some of the reflections regarding the possible developments pursuant to the enlargement process.

3	Small Farmers and the Short Food Supply Chain. The CAP and the Californian Alternative Food Movements as a source of potential insights ALESSANDRINI, MIRTA 24 March 2021 (has links) Gli scenari agricoli europei rivelano un crescente interesse per le filiere corte come strumento di promozione dei sistemi alimentari locali. Nonostante i piccoli agricoltori siano la spina dorsale dell'agricoltura europea, gli interventi politici e legislativi che si sono susseguiti nei decenni non hanno sufficientemente tutelato ne promosso la loro attuale posizione in ambito socio-economico. Il presente lavoro mira a fornire un'approfondita analisi del ruolo delle filiere corte all'interno del quadro normativo europeo per comprendere se l’attuale legislazione sostiene o piuttosto inibisce questi sistemi alternativi di produzione e distribuzione alimentare. Muovendo dall'esame della pletora di definizioni attribuite alla filiera corta e soffermandosi su una revisione critica delle più significative riforme della PAC, in particolare alla luce della strategia 'Farm to Fork', vengono identificate nuove priorità che appaiono più favorevoli ai piccoli agricoltori. Lo studio è arrichito da un confronto tra l'approccio adottoato dell'UE - caratterizzato principalmente da strumenti di hard law e misure top-down -, e quello della California ‘socialmente auto-regolato’, in cui gli 'Alternative Food Movements' e le strategie bottom-up sono attori principali nella regolamentazione della filiere corte e del loro impatto sulla comunità. Lo scopo finale é quello di identificare potenziali elementi utili che, se adottati, potrebbero migliorare il modello europeo. / European agricultural landscapes are undergoing fundamental changes, revealing an increasing interest in Short Food Supply Chains as a tool to promote local food systems and products. Despite small farmers are the backbone of agriculture in the EU, both policy leadership and legal interventions have been not sufficiently fostering their position in the socio and economic today’s narrative. The study aims at providing an extensive analysis of the role of SFSCs within the EU legal framework to understand whether EU legislation supports or rather inhibits these alternative systems of production and supply. Moving from the examination of the plethora of SFSC definitions to a critical revision of the most significant CAP reforms, especially in the light of the ‘Farm to Fork’ strategy, new priorities that seem more favorable to small farmers are identified. The study is enriched by a comparison between the EU legal approach - mainly characterized by hard law instruments and top-down measures -, and the Californian ‘socially self-regulated’ approach, where Alternative Food Movements and bottom-up strategies act as the main player in regulating SFSCs and their impact on the community with the aim of identifying potential insights that could improve the EU model.

4	Quantitative Agricultural Policy Impact Analysis at Enhanced Farm & Regional Resolution Gocht, Alexander 18 June 2024 (has links) In dieser Habilitationsschrift werden elf ausgewählte Zeitschriftenartikel vorgestellt. Alle Artikel zielen darauf ab, die Heterogenität der Betriebe des Agrarsektors durch eine bessere Auflösung der Angebotsmodelle zu berücksichtigen. Der erste Abschnitt konzentriert sich auf die Anwendungen mit dem partiellen Gleichgewichtsmodell CAPRI. Der Abschnitt deckt ein breites Spektrum politischer Fragen ab, zum Beispiel, Kopplung bzw. Konvergenz der Direktzahlungen, Ökologisierung, Verringerung der Treibhausgasemissionen und Kohlenstoffsequestrierung. Ich zeige, dass betriebsbezogene Angebotsmodelle eine detailliertere Analyse politischer Auswirkungen ermöglichen. Zudem erlauben diese Angebotsmodelle eine Verknüpfung mit Modellen höherer räumlicher Auflösung. Der zweite Abschnitt befasst sich mit methodischen Fragen zur Schätzung struktureller Veränderungen auf der Ebene der Betriebstypen in einem EU-weiten Ansatz. Der entwickelte Ansatz hilft, Faktoren, die den landwirtschaftlichen Strukturwandel beeinflussen, besser zu bestimmen und bietet die Möglichkeit einer umfassenden Analyse des landwirtschaftlichen Strukturwandels in der EU. Es wird gezeigt, dass die Ergebnisse zum Strukturwandel auch in der Modellierung berücksichtigt werden können. Dafür wurden Methoden entwickelt, die die Wahrung der Konsistenz der regionalen Ebene und die Berücksichtigung von betriebstypspezifischen Bilanzen, Indikatoren und Veränderungen in der Zahl der landwirtschaftlichen Betriebe gewähren. Der letzte Abschnitt befasst sich mit Methoden zur Rückschätzung von zensierten Daten. Ich untersuche verschiedene Datenaggregationsansätze, wie zum Beispiel, ein lokales gewichtetes Durchschnittsverfahren und ein bayesianisches Schätzverfahren, um Parameter für die zensierten Daten zu ermitteln, die der Realität so weit wie möglich entsprechen. / In this habilitation thesis, eleven selected journal articles were presented. All articles aimed to improve the resolution and thus reduce aggregation error to better account for farm heterogeneity in the agricultural sector models. The first section focused on model application with the partial equilibrium model CAPRI at the farm-type level. It covered many policy issues, such as coupling, convergence, greening, GHG mitigation, and carbon sequestration. I demonstrate that the farm-type supply models enable a detailed analysis of various policy impacts. It was demonstrated that the EU's supply models could improve model linkage with higher spatial resolution models, thus further closing the gap with spatial land-use models. The second section addressed significant methodological queries about estimating structural changes at the farm-type level in an EU-wide approach. A regional approach helps to identify better factors affecting agricultural structural change. The approach offers the opportunity for a comprehensive and previously unachievable analysis of agricultural structural change in the EU. Integrating the development into the CAPRI farm-type model poses challenges with the top-down approach. It requires maintaining consistency with the regional NUTS2 level and considering farm-type-specific balances, indicators, and changes in the number of farms from the structural change estimation. The last section addressed methods for back-estimating censored data. I explored different data aggregation approaches, such as a local weighted average method and a Bayesian estimation procedure, to establish parameters for the censored data that match reality as closely as possible.
