      abstract = {This study evaluates the impact of agricultural subsidies  (CAP) on unemployment and employment outside the  agricultural sector. For the CAP subsidies to have an  effect outside the agricultural sector, the subsidies must  have a second-order effect. Thus, the Open Economy Relative  Multiplier for Sweden is estimated with aggregate  municipality data for the years 2001 to 2009. A side-effect  of the decupling reform in 2005 was that Sweden was forced  to introduce a grassland support which redistributed the  payments among the regions. This exogenous redistribution  of the CAP is the identifying assumption in this study. The  subsidy creates private jobs at a cost of about $20,000 per  job, which is consistent with earlier estimates based on US  data.},
