Beschreibung:
This book, which is the first to be published in the emerging field of farm-level microsimulation, highlights the different methodological components of microsimulation modelling: hypothetical, static, dynamic, behavioural, spatial and macrömicro. The author applies various microsimulation-based methodological tools to farms in a consistent manner and, supported by a set of Stata codes, undertakes analysis of a wide range of farming systems from OECD countries. To these case studies, O¿Donoghue incorporates farming policies such as CAP income support payments, agri-environmental schemes, forestry planting incentives and biomass incentives ¿ in doing so, he illuminates the merits of microsimulation in this environment.
The first book to apply microsimulation modelling theory to the farming sectorWritten by one of the most respected agricultural development specialists in the fieldFeatures a series of case studies from throughout the OECD nations
