  • Arovuori, Kyösti

Abstract

In general agricultural policies aim to achieve several objectives using different combinations of instruments. In this study, our aim is to analyse how efficiently policy instruments used in the EU’s Common Agricultural Policy respond to policy objectives. We will present a formal framework to analyse the effects of instruments to a particular objectives. Our analysis will reveal that there are several controversies between stated agricultural policy objectives and policy instruments.
