  1. The project “The Impact of CAP Reform on the Employment Levels in Rural Areas” Acronym:CARERA Contract no.:022653 Starting Day:1st of March 2006

  2. List of Participants • P1 - (Coordinator) Aristotle University of Thessaloniki (AUTH), Greece • P2 - University of Crete (UOC), Greece • P3 - University of Parma (UOP), Italy • P4 - University of Wales at Aberystwyth (UWA), UK • P5 - Wageningen University (WU), Netherlands • P6 - Justus-Liebig University of Giessen (JLU), Germany • P7 - Corvinus University of Budapest (CUB), Hungary • P8 - Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU), Sweden

  3. Main purpose The analysis of structural and employment effects of CAP reform and rural development measures

  4. Project Objectives • To provide a comprehensive picture of the state of the art related to rural development measures • To provide a detailed database describing the economic transactions and interconnections between rural economic sectors • To quantify empirically the structural changes that will take place in the farming sector of selected rural areas • To analyse the extent to which the new policy regime will indeed improve farmer’s economic performance • analyse and classify the existing rural development measures according to their potential of fostering employment generation in the countryside • To provide an evaluation of the policy changes from the rural stakeholders point of view • To provide recommendations to policy makers on employment generating policy changes

  5. Expected Outputs • An extensive and critical overview of the current implementation of CAP and the expected effects on employment generation • A detailed review of the instruments available for assessment of CAP reform, including a review of the appropriateness of the most commonly used farming models • A set of interlinked databases on the economic transactions (sales of products and purchases of inputs) of farming sector within the local economy • A detailed mathematical programming model which will be used to evaluate the changes in farming activities initiated from the new policy regime • An extensive survey and a detailed database on the perceptions of the stakeholders in the selected rural areas • A large scale general equilibrium model for the selected regions which will be “fed” by the results obtained from the mathematical programming model

  6. Expected Outputs • A detailed economic model which will be used for the empirical evaluation of the economic performance and competitiveness of farmers in selected case studies • A detailed analysis on the effects of the CAP reform on the structural characteristics of farming activities namely crop mix, production cost, profit margins as well as on the employment levels in the countryside • An analysis of the economic conditions in the selected rural areas around the EU identifying the “key” economic sectors according to their potential to promote employment, income and output development in the regional economies • A report on the perceptions and intentions of the stakeholders in the selected rural areas concerning the recent CAP reform • A report on the employment effectiveness of the current rural development measures and suggestions for future amendments

  7. Dissemination Plans • Publication of working papers through the CARERA website • Publications in scientific journals widely read by policy makers as well agricultural economists • Publication of summary reports on main findings on the website • Distribution of a leaflet containing the main findings of the project • Participation in international conferences • Creation of a CD-ROM containing the modeling tools • Organisation of a workshop bringing together external experts and EU decision makers as well as rural stakeholders • Organisation of a two-day intensive course directed to policy-makers both at the national and European level aiming at teaching the use of the modeling tools so that they can be applied to other areas. The two-day course will coincide with the workshop so that all partners are present and can explain their corresponding contribution to the modeling tools
