Objective
This proposal is related to the design of optimal Agro Environmental Schemes (AESs). It emphasises a series of crucial issues among which, expected environmental impacts, transaction costs and institutional arrangements deserve an intensive research effort. AESs are designed, implemented, monitored and enforced according to heterogeneous patterns that reflect agricultural and environmental diversity as well as institutional differences across Europe. Both environmental effectiveness and economic efficiency are often questionable. A clear understanding of theses issues requires an integrated analysis of farmer's behaviour, institutional arrangements and environmental impacts. The first step of the project is a comprehensive comparison of case-study areas in order to link institutional and contractual arrangements with farmers' uptake and the total cost of AESs, including administrative costs. Indeed, AESs with the same targets are implemented in very different institutional settings and may lead to contrasted environmental and economic outcomes. A second step deals with the modelling and empirical analysis of farmer's behaviour according to different governance attributes of AESs, to explain the interactions between the type of contractual arrangement and the private transaction costs. Based on existing AESs, the simulation of alternative schemes would be carried out. A specific objective is to assess the role of the type of contract and eligibility rules on the provision of environmental goods in a given area. The final step addresses the integration of all available information in a common framework. Expert panel opinion, collected by the Delphi method, will complement the available data measuring AES environmental impacts. Multi criteria analyses will be applied in order to integrate multidisciplinary data, the final outcome being helpful for policy making at different levels including the local one'.
