Resumen
Descripción
This paper aims to summarize some of the major results emerging from simulating the
impact of the CAP reform (the so-called Fischler Reform or Luxembourg Agreement,
LA) within the AG-MEMOD model of the agri-food sector in Italy. The paper shows
how the model generates impacts when alternative policy scenarios (Agenda 2000 vs.
LA) are specified. As major evidence of this impact in the Italian case, the crop sector is
dealt with in detail. In particular, the case of supplementary payments for durum wheat
clarifies how the reform may specifically affect Mediterranean agriculture and how
alternative specifications of the regime switch in durum wheat support relevantly influence
the impact.
