Resumen
Descripción
In the near future the CAP will continue to be structured around two pillars. In the first pillar
the main instrument for producers’ support is the decoupled Single Farm Payment. In this
paper we review the methodological framework for analysing decoupled payments in models of
agricultural production. Market and technological uncertainty, credit constraints, farm
household choices involving extra-agricultural decisions, policy uncertainty and long-run
impact of decoupling on investment and land values are the relevant issues that should be
pursued by methodological and empirical analysis. Future research should refine the analysis
of decoupled payments, mainly trying to provide results that can be useful for policy simulation,
to bridge the gap between analysis at the individual level and sector policy models.
