A Measurement of the Effect of Public Support on Community Agricultural Production,
by Jean-Christophe Bureau.
Aggregate indicators of actual support are constructed to measure the effect of public support on production. The commonly used effective protection rates are adjusted to include all government intervention affecting producer supply. The support rates are constructed as superlative index numbers. Econometrics is used to estimate the price aggregator functions. A normalized quadratic functional form is specified for the price aggregator functions and estimated in a two-stage optimization framework. The effect of public intervention on the agricultural sector is measured for ten European countries from 1973 to 1989. The superlative rates of actual support are compared with Laspeyres indices, which do not allow for substitutions between commodities. The results suggest that the aggregate measures of support normally used in international negotiations are subject to not-inconsiderable biases. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
