Resumen
Descripción
Agricultural incomes are quite heterogeneous relying as they are in part on the
environmental context which land is farmed. In addition a very significant proportion
of agricultural income results from public policy via the Farm Direct Payments within
in the Common Agricultural Policy. In this paper we develop and test a methodology
to spatially model the distribution of Agricultural Activity and associated income
across place utilising a spatial microsimulation model. In particular we build upon a
quota sampling method used in the development household based spatial
microsimulation models to account for spatial heterogeneity in relation to stocking
rate. We utilise this framework to model the spatial distribution of activity, incomes
and viability across Ireland.
