      abstract = {A multi-sector model is used to assess the targeting of  CAP payments in Italy,
according with alternative  definitions of the “real farmers” institutional sector. The  model is
based on a Social Accounting Matrix of the Italian  economy, properly adapted to represent
the process of  income formation and distribution in agriculture. The  accounting framework
has been integrated with a set of  microeconomic information from the Farm Business Survey,
a  sample of agricultural holdings representative of the whole  industry in Italy. The effects of
changes in CAP payments  have been assessed through a process in which impacts  moves
from the micro to the macro module of the model and  return, in an iterative way. A vector of
final income  increase for each household included in the survey is  obtained and used to
reclassify impacts according to  alternative definition of the real farmer sector. Results  show
that the distributive structure of the Italian  agriculture as well as the way the policy is
implemented  are likely to affect the targeting of payments under  alternative definitions of the
beneficiary group.},
