Farm-Level Microsimulation Modelling

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 macro-micro. 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. .-- Provided by publisher Front Matter ....Pages i-xxv Introduction (Cathal O’Donoghue)....Pages 1-20 Farm-Level Microsimulation Modelling: An Updated Survey (Cathal O’Donoghue)....Pages 21-47 Static Farm Microsimulation Model: Price Impact (Cathal O’Donoghue)....Pages 49-86 Hypothetical Microsimulation Modeling—Farm Taxation (Cathal O’Donoghue)....Pages 87-118 Farm Subsidy Microsimulation Modelling (Cathal O’Donoghue)....Pages 119-145 Spatial Microsimulation of Farm Income (Cathal O’Donoghue)....Pages 147-175 Farm-Level Income Generation Microsimulation Model (Cathal O’Donoghue)....Pages 177-214 Behavioural Microsimulation Modelling: Agri-Environmental Schemes (Cathal O’Donoghue)....Pages 215-239 Inter-temporal Microsimulation Model: Forestry Planting Decisions (Cathal O’Donoghue)....Pages 241-282 Spatial Microsimulation Model for Environmental Policy (Cathal O’Donoghue)....Pages 283-319 Farm Household Microsimulation Modelling: Viability (Cathal O’Donoghue)....Pages 321-362 Annotation This text highlights the different methodological components of microsimulation modelling: hypothetical, static, dynamic, behavioural, spatial and macro-micro.
