After the war with Iraq which ended in 1988, Iran implementedseveral agricultural support policies based on Five-YearNational Development Plans. The main objective of these plansin the agriculture sector was to make the agricultural economymore market-oriented and to encourage sustainable agriculture.This paper investigates the extent to which Iran's governmenthas been able to achieve this objective in the case of wheat. Forthis purpose, Producer Support Estimate (PSE) and ConsumerSupport Estimate (CSE) indicators for Iranian wheat are calculatedand discussed. Generally, producers’ and consumers’ support isachieved chiefly by distorting market prices. As will be shown,from 1989 to 2006, the PSE increased about 20 times (in realprices), while the level of production increased 1.69 times.However, the PSE had no significant causal relationship witheither wheat yield or its area under cultivation. With respect toconsumers’ support, this was found to be positive for Iranianwheat, a result that is uncommon for most developed and developingcountries. Recent agricultural policies in Iran do notappear to encourage international competitiveness for wheatand are making the wheat economy more dependent on supportprices. We suggest that policy makers reconsider the method ofsubsidization and the pricing system, at least in the case ofwheat.

Depending on the type of policy measure to assist agriculture, support levels can differ over time and across regions. This paper assesses the effects of the Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) reforms during the 1990s on the fluctuation and distribution of gross transfers to producers. The empirical analysis of instability is based on the index proposed by Cuddy and Della Valle, which corrects for underlying trends in the time series. Results indicate that CAP transfers have be-come more stable by moving from market price support to direct area and head-age payments. To reveal territorial impacts of the adjustments in EU agricultural policy a regionalised concept of producer support estimates (PSEs) is adopted. For the German federal states, significant differences in CAP support levels are observed. Exploring the distributional dynamics, the findings show that those disparities across regions have increased throughout the period under study.

Producer Support Estimate (PSE) - Abstract
Das im Rahmen des Beitrags verfolgte Untersuchungsziel besteht darin, im Sinne einer Mit/Ohne-Analyse zu überprüfen, in welchem Maße die Gemeinsame Agrarpolitik innerhalb des Bundeslandes Hessen eine Verringerung der Instabilität der landwirtschaftlichen Erzeugereinnahmen zur Folge hat. Unterschieden wird hierbei zwischen drei verschiedenen Typen von Erzeugerregionen, die sich durch unterschiedliche landwirtschaftliche Standorteigenschaften auszeichnen. Den Untersuchungsergebnissen zufolge gingen innerhalb des Zeitraums 1986 bis 2002 von der Gemeinsamen Agrarpolitik erhebliche Stabilisierungseffekte auf die Einnahmen der hessischen Landwirte aus. Dies trifft vornehmlich auf die naturräumlich begünstigten Erzeugerregionen zu, während die Landwirtschaft in den naturräumlich weniger begünstigten Regionen nur in verhältnismäßig geringem Maße von den Stabilisierungswirkungen der Agrarpolitik tangiert wurde.

Das wesentliche Ziel der hier vorgestellten Untersuchung ist eine theoretische und empirische Erklärung des Niveaus der Agrarförderung in Industrieländern und Schwellenländern. Dies erfolgt zum Ersten mittels eines theoretischen Zwei-Sektoren-Politikmodells, das den Einfluss unterschiedlicher Interessengruppen auf das Entscheidungsverhalten der Agrarpolitiker aufzeigt. Zum Zweiten werden anhand empirischer Regressionsmodelle maßgebliche Determinanten für den Umfang der Agrarprotektion innerhalb unterschiedlicher Länder aufgezeigt. Dies geschieht anhand von Länder-Querschnittsmodellen, die auf Daten aus ausgewählten OECD-Staaten basieren. Aus den Regressionsergebnissen wird deutlich, dass zahlreiche agrarökonomische bzw. gesamtwirtschaftliche Variablen einen erheblichen Einfluss auf die Agrarpolitik ausüben. Anzuführen sind hier beispielsweise der Anteil der Landwirtschaft an den Erwerbstätigen, der Verstädterungsgrad oder die Außenhandelsstruktur eins Landes. The main topic of the paper is a theoretical and an empirical explanation of the level of agricultural protection in industrialized countries and middle-income countries. Concerning this, a theoretical two-sector policy model is explained which illustrates the influence from different lobby groups on decision-making of politicians. Additionally, empirical regression models are presented in order to identify political and economic determinants of the level of agricultural protection in a country. These models are based on a cross-section of several OECD countries. Apparently, several exogenous variables have an impact on the amount of support transfers to the agricultural sector, such as the structure of exports and imports, the level of urbanisation and the proportion of agricultural employees in the total number of employees.
