Analyzing the effects of changes in the European Union's Common Agricultural Policy requires tools on various analytical levels: from world markets to individual farms. Such a "funnel" of models is available at the Agricultural Economics Research Institute (LEI), The Netherlands. This article first describes the models and then refers to a case study to explain both the links between and the co-operation of models. The role of general equilibrium models, in particular of the Global Trade Analysis Project (GTAP), which is at the top of the "funnel", is highlighted.

Agricultural and Environmental Policies from an Institutional Economics Perspective:
a Method for Ex-ante Policy Assessment
Published: 01.09.2011
Authors: Christian Schleyer, Insa Theesfeld
Ex-ante impact assessment of agricultural, environmental, and rural policies has become an integral part of political decision-making processes in the European Union. While a variety of agri-environmental modelling tools exists which are able to predict social, economic, and ecological consequences of policies, there are no standardised ex-ante policy assessment tools capturing the institutional dimension. In…
An integrated model platform for the economic assessment of agricultural policies in the European Union
Published: 21.11.2008
Authors: Ignacio Pérez Domínguez, Stephan Hubertus Gay, Robert M’Barek
A number of economic models have been applied to analyse the Common Agricultural Policy. The partial equilibrium models CAPRI, ESIM, AGLINK, AGMEMOD and CAPSIM and the general equilibrium models GLOBE and GTAP are currently integrated in a modelling platform for Agro-Economic Policy Analysis in the premises of the Joint Research Centre in Seville in close…
Computational Modelling of Trade Policy
Published: 01.04.2000
Authors: JOSEPH F. FRANCOIS
This paper is concerned with the evolving use of computation policy models for assessing trade policy (including agricultural policy). Emphasis is placed on the benefits of using both partial and general equilibrium models, and on the limitations of both approaches. This is combined with a dose of historical perspective on the intellectual origins of these…
