Project Abstract
We will investigate the effects of the efficiency levels that can be achieved under the current scheme of the subsidies on emissions and income inequality. In addition, we compare this scenario with one where payments akin to Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) are stablished as opposed to incentives to increase efficiency and production. In addition, we will compare this scenario with one where payments akin to Payments for Ecosystem Services (PES) are stablished as opposed to incentives to increase efficiency and production. We will model possible changes in farm output and efficiency given changes in the main types of CAP subsidies. In addition, with our estimated production functions, we will explore changes in emissions when production factors such as energy is substituted with capital.Estimating the production functions will allow us to obtain a produced specific measure of production efficiency.
