The direct and indirect effect of CAP support on farm income enhancement:a farm-based econometric analysis

Abstract

We assess the correlation between CAP support provided to farmers and their income and use of capital and labour in the first year of the new CAP regime. This is done applying three regression models on the Italian FADN farms controlling for other farm characteristics. CAP annual payments are positively correlated with farm income and capital but are negatively correlated with labour use. Farm investment support provided by RDP measures is positively correlated to the amount of capital. Results suggest that CAP is positively affecting farm income directly but also indirectly by supporting the substitution of labour with capital
