      abstract = {This paper analyses different direct payments system for  the Swiss alpine region based on the
multi-agent model  SWISSland. Moreover, the future demand and management of  the alpine
pastures are simulated under different scenarios  until 2020. In the model, agents are
representing existing  summer farms and are able to interact with each other. The  results imply
that the current direct payment system for  the Swiss alpine region is effective and able to
maintain a  stable development until 2020. Since the land management in  the alpine region is the
activity that provides public  goods, it would be reasonable to enforce payments that  maximize
the area of summered land. A change to  contributions coupled to the surfaces could achieve  the
desired management of the alpine pastures meaning, at  the same time, a need of proper
monitoring systems.},
