Abstract
This paper is aimed at assessing distribution of Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) expenditure through the European
Union (EU) space. Firstly, spatial distribution of past CAP expenditure is analysed, specifically 2007-2011 payments.
Both overall expenditure and disentangled measures are investigated; major territorial patterns through the EU-27 are
highlighted as well. Secondly, spatial distribution of future expenditure, according to latest 2014-2020 CAP reform, is
analysed. In particular, we assess re-distributional effects connected with spatial spillovers that are due to regional
economic integration. Assessment is made through the adoption of a multiregional I-O model. The analysis is carried out
at a very high level of disaggregation, i.e. NUTS 3 level throughout the EU-27. Furthermore, a specific focus is devoted
to rural-urban relationships.
