Agricultural Policy Changes and Regional Economies: A Standard CGE Analysis for Greece Eudokia Balamou and Demetrios Psaltopoulos Department of Economics University of Patras SPERA International Seminar “General Equilibrium Approaches to Development” Faculty of Economics – University of Pavia 22 October 2007

BACKGROUND TERA (FP6 PROJECT)  Economic Development in Remote Rural Areas AIMS: Identify territorial factors which influence development Review whether existing policies take account of factors Propose new policy “The trends and choices that affect rural areas cannot be studied in isolation from what is going on in non-rural areas” (Saraceno, 1994)

BACKGROUND Approach Regional/Local Modelling within region rural-urban linkages 6 Case Study areas. Reflect different Economic and Institutional Context Spatial Scale Rural-urban Spatial Relationships

THE STUDY AREA Rural town of Archanes 15 Km from the city of Heraklion, Crete Total land area 31.5 sq. Km 60% is cultivated 34% is permanent pasture Resident population 4,548 1981 – 1991  1,23% 1991 – 2001  6.29%

MODELLING Social Accounting Matrices (SAM) - all transactions given point in time SAM - basis for Computable Equilibrium Model (CGE) SAM Construction - each study area Existing secondary sources, e.g. national input-output tables Primary Data collection Survey of Households and Business survey, interviews with key informants

CGE MODEL Behaviour of representative agents in economy Producers and Traders – maximise profits Consumers – maximise their well-being (have demand curves) Government collects taxes and makes transfers (tax rates and transfers are exogenously set) Model Closure rules – reflect assumptions on how markets operate e.g. labour All transactions in economy accounted for. TERA -CGE Models IFPRI Standard CGE Model (Lofgren et al) (www.ifpri.org/pubs/microcom/micro5.htm) Disaggregation of Accounts to allow analysis of rural-urban questions

ARCHANES MODEL Activities/Industries: 18 (9 rural) Commodities: 20 Production Factors: 10 (5 rural) Households: 13 (6 rural) ROW: 1 Government: 1 Production Activities/Industries, Factors and Households: Disaggregated by Rural/Urban Location

ARCHANES MODEL CGE Model Estimation Case study area (base = 2004) Data - SAM plus other literature estimates Procedure - calibrate CGE model so each CGE replicates Case study SAM CGE Model Usefulness Full Picture of case-study economic transactions Controlled experiments – what if ?

MOTIVATION FOR AGRICULTURAL POLICY SIMULATION RECENT (FUNDAMENTAL) CAP REFORM  Most subsidies replaced by SFP – Cross Compliance - Modulation CAP REFORMS  Have significantly influenced rural areas (farm + non-farm incomes; economic activity; distribution, etc.) – Some evidence of New-CAP impacts IMPACT ASSESSMENT  Several studies – rather ex-ante. Various predictions ranging from modest to ‘non-modest’. PREDICTION DOMAINS  Farm income change; rural economic activity; distribution of gains; structural adjustment (incl. farm size, orientation, specialization); farm labour costs, etc.

MOTIVATION FOR AGRICULTURAL POLICY SIMULATION TERA Seeks to analyze the impacts of the role of agriculture and (especially) farm support Assess (rural and urban) economic effects associated with changes in agricultural policy TERA CGE MODELS  Capture multi-product nature of agriculture – Structure allows simulations to portray economic interdependencies within each economy + rural/urban interactions

AGRICULTURE IN THE STUDY AREA Seems rather important Employment share: GR: 38% but sharp exodus (53% in 1991) UAA: 94% privately-owned; 18% irrigated – LFA Structures: Very small-fragmented family farms (2.6 ha on average) Production: Vines, table grapes, olive-oil; very little livestock – strong links with processing Labour: Mostly family labour – some seasonal labour (immigrants)

DEFINITION OF AGRICULTURAL POLICY SCENARIOS Rather “extreme” AGPCUT  Termination (100%) of all agric. subsidies DECOUPLE  Full (100%) Decoupling (govt. transfer to Agric. HHS) – New CAP SFP PILLAR 2  100% reduction of agric. subsidies with transfer of all funds to Pillar 2 (investment demand for Construction) MODULATION  20% of the SFP funds goes to Pillar 2 – Axis 3 (CAP Health-check?)

Indirect Activity Tax Rate (Agricultural Sector)  AGPCUT Scenario Indirect Activity Tax Rate (Agricultural Sector)  Domestic Activity of the Agricultural Sector   Domestic Production of Agricultural Products Agricultural Sector linked with other Sectors of the Economy  Changes in Sectors Dom. Activ.  Total Domestic Activity-Domestic Production  Employment,  GDP,  Exports,  Private Cons.

Private Consumption Levels of Agr. HHS DECOUPLE Scenario Transfers to Agr. HHS   Income of Agr. HHS and also affects other HHS income  Private Consumption Levels of Agr. HHS But what happens to other HHS Consumption? What happens to farm-linked sectoral activity? What Happens to Prices?  Sectoral Domestic Activity-Domestic Production  Employment,  GDP

PILLAR 2/Modulation Scenarios Exogenous Investment Demand of the Construction Commodity  Domestic Production of the Construction Commodity Domestic Activity of the Construction Sector What Happens with the Domestic Activity of other Sectors? Usually positive effects in other sectors, but possible trade-off due to decrease in AgrHHS Consumption.   Employment,   GDP

CONCLUSIONS Subsidies are important for this rural economy  cutting them off results in losses but these do not seem drastic. Cutting subsidies “hurts” others than just farmers  agric. linked sectors seem to experience hard times if agricultural activity is not subsidized Full Decoupling seems to cause higher negative effects compared to the elimination of subsidies (but Agr. HHS incomes rise) Transfer of SFP funds to Pillar 2 measures rather “improves” the situation (except Agr. HHS income) Impacts of Modulation Scenario: a bit worse than subsidies elimination, but better than Full Decoupling
