Abstract

This paper is composed of three parts: the first section describes the economic situation and past development within the nine member countries of the European Community (EC). Particular emphasis is given to resource and production structure in agriculture as well as agricultural commodity markets. The second part contains a description of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) which is evaluated w.r.t., it's effects on member and non-member countries. This section contains also a discussion of alternative policy scenarios conceivable for later model applications.

The third part of this paper gives a brief overview over the structure of the Agricultural Sector Model. This includes a presentation of the macro model with intersectoral linkages between agriculture and the rest of the economy as well as a mathematical formulation of the farm resource and allocation model.
