Modelling agricultural policies: state of the art and new challenge

Objective

At regular intervals, various national and internationals institutions carry out evalutaions of the effectiveness of policy tools. This is because agricultural policy may be sidered "work in progress", where the tools created by the policy makers are the result of a tinuous process of adaptation that follows the changes in the referred socio-eomic framework, and the orientation of agricultural policy thtat reflects precise internal policy choices in different groups of countries. The availability of analysis tools that can follow the evolutions of the envisaged scenarios has therefore become important, in order to be ready to face the needs of both public and private players. In this sense, we would to organise a seminar on agricultural policies evalutaion tools. This is a logical follow-up to the successful 65th EAAE seminar held in Bonn in 2000, which represented an important reference point for European research in the field of agricultural policy analysis. Furthermore, the seminar wishes to offer the chance for a meeting, one year after the start of the sixth framework programme, and particularly Action 8 "Policy-oriented research", providing the opportunity for researchers to discuss the methodologies they use in their own research. The objective of the seminar is to discuss theretical and empirical tributions for the review of models used in the assessment o policies that support agricultural sector and regulate production of marketable and non-marketable products (commodities, public goods and externalities). The seminar will accept papers focusing on the role of models in assessing changes in transition eomies. More in details, it will be accept papers that will discuss agricultural policy tools and developpe perspective in order to use these tools to monitor and evaluate whether the agricultural policies are effectively moving in the direction of EU policy makers or whether they create new distorsion and negative effects.
