Resumen
Descripción
This paper introduces enforcement costs and farmer misrepresentation into the economic analysis of decoupled area payments. When enforcement is costly, complete deterrence of cheating is never optimal from an economic perspective. Misrepresentation changes the welfare effects of the policy instrument, its transfer efficiency, and the socially optimal income redistribution.
