      abstract = {This paper assesses the distributive impacts of  alternative agricultural policies in a SAM (social  accounting matrix) framework. A SAM of the Italian economy  has been properly modified in order to focus on  agriculture. In doing so, a new method for disaggregating  the institutional sectors and the production factors in a  SAM framework has been proposed. Two types of analysis have  been carried out: (i) a multiplier analysis, and (ii) an  assessment of the distributive impacts of different sector  policies. The main results can be summarised as follows:  (i) ‘fully’ decoupled agricultural household income  supporting schemes (transfers to agricultural households)  are the most equitable interventions and determine a  perfect target of the distributive effect on the relevant  institutional sectors; (ii) ‘partially’ decoupled income  supporting interventions, such as the ones implemented  under the CAP before the Mid Term Review, are more  effective than others (i.e., through multiplier effects) in  indirectly generating positive impacts on the income of  agricultural households; (iii) agricultural price support  interventions show less desirable effects in terms of their  distributive impacts: they are less effective as  agricultural income-increasing policies and their  distributive impacts are biased against poorer households  both in agricultural and non-agricultural sectors.},
