Abstract
A number of economic models have been applied to analyse the
Common Agricultural Policy. The partial equilibrium models CAPRI,
ESIM, AGLINK, AGMEMOD and CAPSIM and the general equilibrium
models GLOBE and GTAP are currently integrated in a modelling
platform for Agro-Economic Policy Analysis in the premises of the
Joint Research Centre in Seville in close collaboration with Directorate-
General for Agriculture and Rural Development. Each of the
models included has a specific focus, enlarging the capacity for
complex policy analysis within this platform. This can be done by
comparing the results of different models or by linking them, where
several methodological options are available. This paper gives some
insights on current applications in the field of model integration for
agricultural policy analysis.
