| In this paper, we evaluated the welfare effects of a hypothetical programme of Johne's disease eradication from the Scottish dairy herd on different stakeholders in the domestic milk market. We undertook the evaluation using a Markov-Chain simulation and applying an economic welfare analysis which takes into consideration the effects of an eradication programme on product price, on output quantity, on cost and on milk yield for given levels of supply and demand elasticities. We found that, following the eradication of the disease, milk yield per cow increased for all herd sizes in Scotland whereas price and unit cost of milk production fell. Consequently, milk consumers gained around £14.3 million in discounted economic surplus and producers with infected... |

| Our paper focuses on the key element of the 2003 CAP reform: on the single farm payment (SFP). The basic aim was to decouple direct payment from production decisions. Because of the widespread agricultural policy reforms (support producers with the least possible distortions) and of the on-going WTO negotiations, this is an issue attracting significant attention on behalf of agricultural economists. Different tools and different methodologies have been employed in the effort to better understand and rank policy measures in terms of their production and trade effects. Most of the literature classifies measures based on implementation criteria. Our paper assesses the decoupled nature of the single farm payment (SFP) based on WTO and OECD criteria. The EU... |

| Im Zuge der Anstrengungen, die Verunsicherung der Verbraucher zu beheben, wird auf vielfältige Weise versucht, die Sicherheit von Lebensmitteln zu verbessern. Dabei ist auch der Informationsaustausch zwischen Akteuren in den Wertschöpfungsketten der Agrar- und Ernährungswirtschaft in den Fokus gesetzgeberischer wie auch privater Initiativen gerückt. Neben technologischen Hindernissen, vor allem der fehlenden Kompatibilität von Informationssystemen, lassen sich auch Verhaltensaspekte als Hemmnisse des Informationsaustauschs und der Informationsverarbeitung identifizieren. Das Ziel dieses Beitrags ist es vor diesem Hintergrund, am Beispiel des Tiergesundheitsmanagements in der Schweinefleischwirtschaft Antworten auf die Frage zu geben, welche Einflussgrößen... |

| In the paper, alternative contractual arrangements between crop producers and processors are evaluated with a view of addressing the major issues present in peanut markets in the U.S., the major EU supplier of high quality peanuts. The issues are the thinness of the spot markets and the absence of quality premiums, both of which impair market efficiency. Results indicate that introducing contracts with a system of quality differentials creates incentives for producer self-selection to participate in the post harvest cash market. Moreover, in the presence of sufficiently high common production risk, tournament contracts are more efficient and preferred by the producers than the standard fixed premium schedules. |

| Contracting directly between produce shippers and retailers is growing in importance. Retailers seek to obtain reliable supplies, while reducing their reliance on recurring market transactions. Producers seek stable prices and market access. These private transactions diminish spot market liquidity and enhance noncompetitive buying opportunities, raising concerns over the resulting impact on grower prices, whether under contract or not, and the future produce market structure. Primary data are used to test hypotheses on contract participation. Simulations on grower prices reveal that contract prices are generally lower, but less variable, than market prices, suggesting a form of risk sharing. |

| Throughout the developed world, the share of agriculture in total income of the rural population is declining. This is due to push and pull factors. On one hand, terms of trade of agriculture are falling and farmers are forced to seek additional income sources. On the other hand, population expansion in rural areas, including an important component of urban-to-rural migration, creates attractive opportunities for alternative income-generating activities. The question is whether agriculture is good or bad for rural well-being. Are communities with more agriculture composed of stronger farms that enhance economic well-being, or perhaps more agriculture means lack of alternatives, in which case the outcome is the opposite? The answer has important... |

| This work analyzes the effects of ethnic heterogeneity on credit and entrepreneurship in The Gambia. We develop a model of credit transactions based on ethnic density, which shows that where formal credit markets fail denser ethnic groups will have better access to credit. This work places a special emphasis on the Serahule ethnic group, which is ethnically dense and entrepreneurially successful. Our results show that Serahule-owned enterprises are indeed larger and more profitable. Furthermore, their marginal rate of return of capital is significantly lower than that of enterprises owned by other ethnicities, as one would expect with lower credit constraints. |
