Scenarios describe plausible and internally consistent views of the future. They can be used by scientists, policymakers entrepreneurs to explore challenges global environmental change given an appropriate level spatial sectoral detail systematic development. We followed a nine-step protocol extend enrich set scenarios - Shared Socio-economic Pathways (SSPs) providing regional for European agriculture food systems using one-to-one nesting participatory approach. The resulting five...
We argue that farm survival is influenced by neighboring farmers’ characteristics and, in particular, the direct payments farmers receive. The article shows empirically these interdependencies are crucial for an assessment of effects on survival. Using spatially explicit farm‐level data nearly all Norwegian farms, a spatial probit model estimated to explain from 1999 2009 controlling interdependence. show ignoring between farms leads substantial overestimation To our knowledge, this first...
Moving towards a more sustainable future requires concerted actions, particularly in the context of global climate change. Integrated assessments agricultural systems (IAAS) are considered valuable tools to provide sound information for policy and decision-making. IAAS use storylines define socio-economic environmental framework assumptions. While set qualitative storylines, known as Shared Socio-economic Pathways (SSPs), is available inform integrated at large scales, their spatial...
Methane's short atmospheric life has important implications for the design of global climate change mitigation policies in agriculture. Three different agricultural economic models are used to explore how short- and long-term warming effects methane can affect cost-effectiveness dietary transitions. Results show that choice a particular metric methane's potential is key determine optimal options, with metrics based on shorter-term impacts leading greater overall emission reduction. Also,...
Climate policies may have adverse geographically unequal socio-economic impacts that, if left unaddressed, hamper their implementation. This paper examines factors explaining rural-urban perceptions of the effects climate policy on agriculture and rural areas. The adds to current knowledge by jointly analysing describing distinct role geographical locations play in shaping these perceptions. We conduct a novel statistical analysis utilising large preference survey Norwegian adult population...
Abstract The UK exited the EU on 31 January 2020, with a transition period agreed as part of Withdrawal Agreement. During this and will decide their future trading relationship. No matter what form relationship takes, there be disturbances to agri‐food markets. This study analyses four different scenarios increasing barriers trade, ranging from very close similar European Economic Area distant in which trade Most Favoured Nation terms, using focused global agricultural sector model CAPRI.

Abstract This article is framed by the 900‐plus year old debate on importance of academic freedom for democracy and human progress outlined K arran. In particular, it discusses some contemporary threats to in relation role researchers research institutes public policy process. Using a series recent case studies attempts interfere with publication findings key sensitive areas genetically modified foodstuffs, climate change, agriculture, argued that while plays crucial development policies,...
Abstract Transparency in the multilateral trade system is fundamental. Monitoring compliance of WTO members with their obligations an important part that transparency, and timeliness notification crucial. In case domestic support to agriculture, notifications has been slow opaque. But another database exists could both illuminate extent which policy instruments are correctly notified provide a convenient way ensure timely ‘pre-notifications’ event delays occur future. This note shows how...
Purpose Outside farming, pluriactivity is generally considered as undesirable, whereas agricultural economists tend to recommend part-time farming. This contradiction be solved. The paper aims discuss this issue. Design/methodology/approach Linking tax-payer and statistical farm-level data from Norway, the authors tested how profitable farming for Norwegian farm households. Findings analysis showed that concentrating on either working on-farm or off-farm generates a higher household income...
We develop a general framework in which public goods are conflicting (complementary) if an increase the provision of one good raises (lowers) marginal cost providing another good. The is used to analyse policy implications maintaining safe minimum standards (SMSs) for two goods. comparative-static results illustrated using sector model Norwegian agriculture SMSs food security, agrobiodiversity and greenhouse gas emissions modelled as constraints. simulations show that even conflicting,...
Abstract Norway maintains a complex system of activity or type specific coupled payments which account for large share farm income. Most the payment rates are negatively related to size and higher in remote areas compared central regions. We present use newly developed recursive‐dynamic multi‐commodity model (Agrispace) with CES production functions depicting regional clusters derived from full population. Using this model, we simulate impacts current alternative subsidy policies on...
This paper studies the hypothesis that farm structure and regional distribution of agricultural activity themselves have a significant impact on greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from agriculture. Applying dynamic model for Norwegian sector covering entire population, results support hypothesis. Even without mitigation options, GHG decline by 1.4 per cent if agriculture becomes regionally concentrated increase 1.5 policy favors small-scale is put in place. Adding carbon tax to leads...
Abstract We present a game-theoretical model arguing that greater public transparency does not necessarily lead to higher social welfare. Political agents can benefit from providing citizens with misleading information aimed at aligning citizens’ choices the political agents’ preferences. Citizens lose being fooled by agents, though they mitigate their losses conducting costly inspections detect false information. Producing and detecting is reduce
