Abstract
Using a simplified model, with key-variable
the prices of two different possible scenarios of
CAP reform after 2013 (moderate and radical), this
paper present a comparison between the price effects of implementation of each reform scenario at 2015 horizon on Romanian agriculture. This short analysis shows that, under the presented hypotheses, the net welfare effect, due to the price changes, for the selected products, is positive in both reform scenarios, yet
greater in the case of the radical reform. Integrated in the large context of Romanian development, it seems that the influence of CAP reform upon agriculture and rural areas will be most likely a gradual one: an interpenetration between the two scenarios is foreseeable, starting with the moderate reform that will
dominate the period around 2013, the reform measures acquiring a more radical character afterwards.
