Final Report Summary - GENEDEC (A quantitative and qualitative assessment of the socio-economic and environmental impacts of decoupling of direct payments on agricultural production, markets ...)
The expected quantitative analysis will be complemented by a study of the possible socio-economic consequences for some territories and for the food chain.
The strength of the project is the coverage of the whole European Union (EU, the analysis of New Member States depends on the timely availability of data) at various levels of analysis ranging from the farm to the Member State level. The majority of models applied in the project are based either on linear programming or positive mathematical programming. Existing models are further developed to tackle quotas, premium entitlements and land markets. Furthermore models and software are harmonised to ease the comparison of results and their aggregation to sector level or other scales (region, state, EU).
